Anything pull daily price changes / Drop Shipper?

I'm coming off of about a 5 yr leave from Zencart. Good to be back :smile:. 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~

Re: Anything pull daily price changes / Drop Shipper?

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:wink: ..its been a long time my friend:hug:
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 :P
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
