Linking Suppliers to a Price List
🔗 Linked Suppliers on Pricelists
The Linked Suppliers feature allows you to connect one or more suppliers directly to a pricelist. This ensures that your pricelist stays up to date automatically as new products and updated pricing are received from supplier feed integrations.
This bridges the gap between manually curated pricelists and fully automated supplier product feeds.
🧾 Background: Traditional Pricelists
Pricelists in OrderEazi were originally designed to be:
Manually created
Carefully curated for a specific purpose
Tailored to a specific customer, channel, or use case
This approach works well when the product set is stable and deliberately selected. However, it becomes difficult to maintain when working with automated supplier feeds that regularly introduce new products and updated pricing.
⚙️ Supplier Feed Integrations
Supplier feed integrations automatically import:
New products from suppliers
Updated supplier pricing
These feeds run every few hours, ensuring you always have access to the latest supplier product data. Without linked suppliers, keeping pricelists in sync with these changes requires ongoing manual effort.
🔗 Linking Suppliers to a Pricelist
You can now link one or many suppliers directly to a pricelist.
When a supplier is linked:
New products from that supplier are automatically added to the pricelist
Existing products continue to receive updated supplier pricing
The pricelist remains current without manual intervention
This allows pricelists to evolve automatically as supplier catalogues change.
📐 Pricelist Rules Integration
Linked suppliers work seamlessly with Pricelist Rules.
As supplier products are added or updated:
The latest supplier cost price is used
Your predefined rules apply automatically
Uplifts, margins, and markups are consistently enforced
This ensures that pricing on the pricelist always reflects:
The supplier’s most recent prices
Your business rules for profitability and consistency
🌐 Selling Through External Channels
Once updated, the pricelist can be made available to external systems and sales channels.
This enables:
Controlled product exposure per channel
Consistent pricing across integrations
Automated selling of supplier-backed products
The combination of linked suppliers and pricing rules allows you to confidently expose products externally without ongoing maintenance.
💡 Why Use Linked Suppliers?
Linking suppliers to pricelists is particularly useful for:
Automatically maintaining large or growing product ranges
Selling supplier catalogues without manual curation
Ensuring new supplier products are immediately sellable
Reducing administrative effort when prices change
Enforcing consistent markup strategies at scale
Supporting multi-channel and integration-driven sales models
This approach combines automation with control.
