The Mapping tab on a supplier connection allows you to route the supplier's brands and categories into the brands and taxonomies you actually use on your storefront, so imported products land in the right place.
The Supplier updates inbox in Orbit allows you to review new products and changes to existing products from your connected suppliers, and choose which ones to accept into your store. It gives you a single place to keep your catalogue in step with your suppliers without accepting everything automatically.
The Pricing rules section in Orbit allows you to set how the selling price of a connected supplier's products is calculated. You add a markup percentage on top of the supplier's cost price, with the option to override it for specific brands.
Connecting to a supplier in Orbit lets you browse their full catalogue, import their products into your store, and keep stock, pricing, and product details in sync. How you connect depends on the supplier's access mode.
The Products tab on a supplier connection in Orbit allows you to browse the supplier's catalogue and import their products into your store, either one at a time or in bulk. Once imported, products are kept up to date in line with your connection's sync settings.
The Settings tab for a supplier connection in Orbit allows you to control which fields stay in sync with the supplier and how much of their activity is applied automatically. You decide what Orbit keeps up to date and what waits for your review.
Purchase orders let you raise, track, and send orders to a supplier for the products you source from them in Orbit. Each order records what you have asked for, what the supplier has acknowledged, and what has been fulfilled.
The Suppliers section in Orbit allows you to discover and connect with third-party suppliers, import their products into your store, and keep stock, pricing, and product details in sync automatically.
Disconnecting a supplier in Orbit ends your connection with them, so you stop receiving product updates and can no longer raise new purchase orders. Products you have already imported stay in your store but stop syncing.
