The majority of our customers place orders and track them using XML. However, if you would like to order by EDI, please contact your account manager.

Images

Preferred Implementation Guidelines

We can supply all of our current images in one download file and then using the free code you can set up your site to only request and store new images. The free code also demonstrates how to check at regular intervals and pull down any images you are missing. Budgets are in place to prevent abuse of this service.

Please follow these guidelines to ensure our services continue to be available to you.

  • Only query to our server for missing images.
  • Expect between 10 and 20 new products per day.
  • We would expect your system to check daily for missing images.
