Stock and purchase prices from product feeds

What Dropday updates

After you import a supplier's product feed, Dropday updates the stock levels and purchase prices of its products every day. Products are matched on SKU or EAN.

• Variants: Dropday doesn't manage variants as such. Each row in the feed is handled as a separate product, matched by SKU or EAN.

• What is not updated: Dropday doesn't create new products, and it doesn't sync retail prices, descriptions or images.

Imported stock and your rules

Dropday doesn't use the stock levels it imports from a feed to decide which supplier receives a customer order.

The Stock Quantity and Purchase Price conditions of a rule use the values on the order line, as your webshop or the order API sent them, not the values from the feed.

Get the values into your webshop

Dropday stores the imported products in your account. To update your webshop from a feed, build an integration of your own: it subscribes to the products.updated webhook, reads the products from the Dropday API and writes the stock or purchase price in your shop.

• The products.updated event is sent after each product feed import. It says which feed was imported, not the product data itself.

• GET https://dropday.io/api/v1/products lists your account's active imported products, 100 per page, and GET https://dropday.io/api/v1/products/new lists the active products updated in the last 24 hours. Both only read data.

Follow product feed updates with a webhook and the API shows how to set this up.

No purchasing for your own stock

Dropday only forwards customer orders to suppliers. It has no purchase orders or purchase advice to restock your own warehouse, no minimum stock levels, no reorder overview and no receiving of goods.

Purchase prices on supplier orders

Supplier emails and order files can show a product's cost price when your webshop sends it with the order. Dropday doesn't fill in the cost price from the supplier's product feed, and Magento and Wix don't send a cost price.

Order details and extra product fields shows which cost price each webshop platform sends.
