Note that this feature is EXCLUSIVE TO SHOPIFY integrations. Those with EDT, TPW, or Punchmark integrations should NOT proceed with activating this feature. Doing so will disrupt your website integration.

The Edge Connector (ECon) introduces the ability to track items uploaded to your website by vendor and vendor style instead of Edge item number (SKU).  This option is set on a per category basis and applies to all items within the category.  This is useful for not listing the same item multiple times, as well as guaranteeing an item gets a specific product page URL that does not change.

Enabling this option has the following effects:

• When uploaded to your Ecommerce site, a single style record is sent along with the quantity.  Unlike items managed by Edge item number, these records are never removed.  If the item is sold through it will remain with a zero quantity.
   
• These items will upload under a SKU consisting of [VENDOR ABBREVIATION]-[VENDOR STYLE] instead of Edge item number.
   
• Items in this category that are the same vendor and vendor style now share the same Website tab.  Making changes to this tab from any individual item will update the others.
   
• When imported on a web sale, you will need to select which individual Edge item is fulfilling the order.
