- Why do some products have decorated pricing and some only display undecorated pricing?
Is the integration directly pulling from Promodata?
Promodata does not have a search function through an API. commonsku caches the product information and feeds it through a custom search engine to make sourcing possible. The cached information is updated regularly.
Why do some products have decorated pricing and some only display undecorated pricing?
Suppliers listed in Promodata do not have a standardized way of entering pricing. As pricing structures vary by supplier, commonsku needs to display decorated pricing differently for some products. If you do not see a decorated pricing option, the imprint costs and setup costs can be found when viewing the product page. They will need to be added manually as a run charge or fixed charge.
