Edit a Dynamic Brand Link

Overview​

You can edit an existing Dynamic Brand Link and update its settings.

Purpose​

The editing function for Dynamic Brand Links is used to change settings such as Trade Terms, expiration dates, and associated catalogs for links that have already been created and are in operation.

Efficiently modifying settings according to the operational status, such as changing campaign periods, reviewing Trade Terms, or updating catalog configurations, leads to a reduction in man-hours and the creation of more time.

In addition, by centrally managing the history of setting changes and appropriately maintaining the Trade Terms and scope of application for each link, it contributes to information utilization and sales.

Feature Description​

What is a Dynamic Brand Link?​

A Dynamic Brand Link is a URL issuance function that uniformly sets Trade Terms such as unique payment methods, shipping methods, and wholesale rates.

It can be used even by users who do not have a DEXTRE account, and all users who know the URL can browse catalogs and add products to their carts.

How Links Work​

Multiple target catalogs can be specified and linked to a Dynamic Brand Link.

You can independently configure items related to catalogs and buyers for the link.

Catalog-related Settings​

Settings related to catalogs are applied uniformly to all catalogs linked to the link.

The following items can be set for the link. The contents set for the link take precedence over the contents set for the catalog.

  • Address input field
  • Payment Method
  • Shipping settings (Rate Group)
    • If all shipping charges set for the link are invalid, the shipping charges set for the catalog will be referenced.
    • When setting shipping charges, it is necessary to create master data for the "Shipping Rate Group" in advance.
  • Apply Tax to Price
    • This is a setting for whether to display the tax-included price in the product list or cart.
    • On the catalog side, the item Select Buyer Type to display in tax-excluded price corresponds as the same setting item.
      • The display setting for the tax-included price only refers to the link settings. It does not refer to the settings of each catalog.

Buyer-related Settings​

The following items can be set for the link. The contents set for the link take precedence over the contents set for the buyer.

In Dynamic Brand Links, multiple languages and currencies can be specified.

  • Language
  • Currency
  • Billing Term
  • Transaction Term

Note that the Trade Terms applied at checkout do not change depending on the user's login status.

Access Control and Validity Period​

By configuring the following items, you can control the period during which the Dynamic Brand Link can be accessed and whether authentication is required.

  • Passcode enabled/disabled
  • Link Release date
  • Link expiration date

Behavior at Checkout​

Users log in to DEXTRE for the first time at checkout.

Users with an account can select the Buyer organization they belong to after logging in to place an order.

Users without an account will register a new user account and create a Buyer organization at checkout before placing an order.

Even if an order is placed from a Buyer organization that is not in a "Tradable" state due to reasons such as not being invited, the contents set in the Dynamic Brand Link will be applied to the Trade Terms at the time of the order.

In addition, at the time the order is completed, the Buyer organization is automatically connected to the brand as a "Tradable Buyer".

View-only Mode​

When the "Make this link view-only" flag is enabled, the cart and ordering functions on the Dynamic Brand Link are disabled.

In view-only mode, only the browsing function as a digital catalog is available.

Mandatory Display of Address Input Field​

The address input field on the checkout screen is mandatory in the following cases. The address input field will be displayed regardless of the settings.

  • When shipping settings are applied
  • When Stripe Credit Card Payment is selected

Important Notes​

Be careful about errors in the Buyer Type setting​

"Buyer Type" can only be specified as either "Organization" or "Personal" for each link.

In DEXTRE, "Organization Buyer" and "Personal Buyer" are managed separately, and the Buyer Type on the Buyer organization side cannot be switched later.

Please be very careful about setting errors.

The link publication date and expiration date are managed separately from the Release Date and order deadline​

The Release Date and expiration date set in the Dynamic Brand Link are settings that control the accessibility of the link.

On the other hand, the publication date and time and order deadline set in the catalog linked to the link are settings that control the browsability and orderability of the catalog.

Therefore, even if the link is accessible within the validity period, restrictions such as unable to browse or unable to add to cart may occur depending on the settings of the catalog's publication date and time or order deadline.

If a "Closed (Private)" catalog is linked, the catalog will not be displayed​

Even catalogs with the status "Closed (Private)" can be selected and linked to a link.

However, please note that if a buyer accesses the link while the catalog is in a closed state, the catalog will not be displayed, and an error message may appear.

If the address input field is hidden (disabled), the address will not be registered in the order​

If the "Address input field" at checkout is set to hidden (disabled), the order data will be registered without the buyer's address.

Therefore, if the address is required for subsequent document generation (such as an order confirmation document), the maker will need to manually enter the address to complete it.

Precautions when specifying multiple languages and currencies​

When specifying multiple languages and currencies, a buyer may incorrectly specify the language or currency.

Please note the following concerns:

  • Selecting the wrong language and not knowing how to change it back to the correct language.
  • Misunderstanding that in international transactions, it is acceptable to order in a currency different from the usual one.

The address input field must be enabled when using "NEXT ENGINE Order Integration"​

In environments using "NEXT ENGINE Order Integration", address information is required by the system for data integration.

If the "Address input field" is disabled, the order upload process will fail, so please be sure to enable it.
