How to Keep Supplier Prices and Stock Up to Date

1 See your products and their suppliers

Open Dropshipping Suite and click Products under Run my store. Every product you imported with AM Jarvis is already here with its supplier link. For a product that was already in your store, click Link a product, search your store for it and paste its supplier link.

1. Monitored. How many products are watched, out of your plan's allowance (500 on Pro). Click a count to filter the table, for example Out of stock or Price reviews.
2. Out, set to draft. The supplier ran out, so AM Jarvis set the product to draft in your store.
3. Price review. The supplier price changed and the new store price is waiting for your OK in the Sync log.
4. Monitor. Switch watching on or off for one product. Tick several rows to switch them in one go.

The Status column also shows when each product was last checked. "Not checked yet" means monitoring is off or the first check has not run.

2 Set how often suppliers are checked

Click Settings. The Supplier checks card holds the settings for your whole account.

1. Check each supplier every 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours. Shorter means changes are caught sooner.
2. Browser sync with the Chrome extension. Lets the extension check AliExpress and Amazon (step 5). Leave it ticked if you sell from those sites.
3. Save. Saves both settings.

3 Decide what happens when a supplier changes

In the Store rules card on the same page, pick a store at the top right. The rules are saved per store.

1. Pricing rule. How a new store price is worked out from the supplier cost: cost times a multiplier or cost plus a fixed markup, the cents (.99, .95 or whole numbers), a minimum profit, an optional compare-at price, shipping added to the cost and price tiers for cost ranges.
2. Preview. What three example costs would sell for with your rule, so you can check it before saving.
3. Price change. Update my price changes the store price right away. Ask me first keeps your store as it is and puts the new price in the Sync log for you to approve. Do nothing only records the change.
4. Out of stock. Set product to draft hides it, Set stock to 0 keeps it visible but unsellable, or Do nothing. When the supplier has stock again, AM Jarvis undoes it.

Without a pricing rule ("Keep supplier price"), a supplier price change moves your price by the same percent. On Shopify, "Set stock to 0" needs the write_inventory permission on the store connection; without it the product is set to draft instead. Click Save store rules when you are done.

4 Check one product's supplier details

Back on Products, click Details on a product. The panel shows the supplier link, the supplier type and the shipping cost, and how each of your variants is matched to the supplier.

1. Monitor this supplier. The same switch as in the table. Click Save after changing it.
2. Check now. Checks this supplier right away instead of waiting for the schedule.
3. Update from what I see. If AM Jarvis cannot read the supplier page, open it yourself and type the price and stock you see. Your store is updated the same way as by an automatic check.
4. Update. Sends the numbers you typed.

Variants are matched by the supplier SKU or ID first, then by their options (for example Color: Red, Size: M). If a product has variants, fill in the supplier SKU or options so each variant follows its own supplier price.

5 Switch on supplier sync in the Chrome extension

AliExpress and Amazon do not let servers read their pages reliably, so for those suppliers the AM Jarvis Chrome extension does the checking from your browser. Install it first if you have not (see Install the Chrome extension). Then click the AM Jarvis icon in Chrome on any page and scroll to the bottom of the popup.

1. Keep supplier prices and stock up to date. Turn the switch on. Chrome asks you to allow access to AliExpress and Amazon pages: click Allow. Without it, sync cannot run.
2. How it works. Sync runs while Chrome is open. It opens each supplier page in a background tab for a few seconds, only reads the price and stock, and closes the tab. It never clicks anything on the supplier site.

1. Switch on. The extension now checks the products that are due, on the schedule you set in step 2.
2. Last check. When the last run happened and how many products it checked.
3. Check now. Runs a check right away.

The extension leaves a pause of 15 to 30 seconds between supplier pages and checks up to 20 products per run, so a long list is spread over several runs. Turning the switch off gives the site access back to Chrome. If the popup says "Browser sync is turned off in AM Jarvis", tick Browser sync in the Supplier checks card.

6 Approve price changes and read the Sync log

Click Sync log. With "Ask me first", every supplier price change waits at the top until you decide.

1 2 3 4

1. New price. The price your rule suggests for the new supplier cost. Type a different price if you prefer.
2. Approve new price. Sends the new price to your store.
3. Keep my price. Dismisses the change and leaves your store price as it is.
4. The log. Every change with the time and who made it: a server check, the Chrome extension or you.

Log entries are colored by type: Price, Stock (out of stock), Unavailable (the supplier removed the product), Back in stock, Check failed and Linked. A product whose supplier page could not be read shows "Check failed" in the table and in the log with the reason; use Update from what I see for it, or check the supplier link.
