    Default Anything pull daily price changes / Drop Shipper?

    I'm coming off of about a 5 yr leave from Zencart. Good to be back . Anyway, the lastest site I am going to be working on needs to be able to pull daily pricing changes from several different vendors. Any add-ons make this possible? I see there are still a lot of issues with drop shippers. Hopefully I will be able to work around what is available enough to make a productive site. Any suggestions are welcomed as far as new features or add-ons that might help me out.
    Thanks so much~

    It can be custom coded but takes many steps as in

    is the item still in stock
    is the item one that I have
    does the item have attributes - as in size - color etc

    All this needs to be determined from what they provide against what you have and updated in something like a EasyPopulate file that can be imported

    Hi there Kobra ..its been a long time my friend
    Thanks for responding.
    Well, one of those steps, "is item one that I have", is easy because they do not carry stock themselves....all drop-shipped by particular vendors. My first concern is finding a way for the ZenCart to check pricing on the vendor sites daily to keep prices correct without having to do it manually everyday.
    This is a good size company supplying other companies with product so keeping prices verified is our first concern right now.... I'm sure there will be a multitude of other concerns just around the corner
    Again, good to see you and thanks for responding !

    Don't think you grasped this correctly

    You have the item in zencart but the supplier dropped it from their list

    Hence, are items in the cart still available/in stock
