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 lets you change settings such as trade terms, expiration dates, and linked catalogs for links already in use.

Making these changes efficiently as operations change, such as when campaign periods change, trade terms are reviewed, or catalog configurations are updated, helps reduce manual work and save time.

Centralizing the history of setting changes and maintaining each link's trade terms and scope appropriately also supports information use and sales activities.

Feature Description​

What is a Dynamic Brand Link?​

A Dynamic Brand Link is a feature that lets you issue a URL with common trade terms—such as payment methods, shipping fees, and wholesale rates—for multiple catalogs.

Users without a DEXTRE account can browse catalogs and add products to their carts before signing in. However, conditions such as passcodes, link availability periods, and catalog statuses can restrict access and ordering.

How the Link Works​

A Dynamic Brand Link can be associated with multiple target catalogs.

Items related to catalogs and buyers can be uniquely configured for the link.

Catalog-related Settings​

Settings related to the catalog are uniformly applied to all catalogs linked to the URL.

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 Methods
  • Shipping fee settings (Rate Group)
    • If no shipping fee rules are set, the shipping fee set for the catalog is referenced.
    • If one or more Country Specific Rule Sets or Default Rule Sets are set, the link's shipping fee settings apply.
    • To set a shipping fee, you must create master data for the "shipping fee rate group" in advance.
  • Inquiries from the catalog
    • When the inquiry feature is enabled, buyers can send inquiries from the catalog.
  • Apply Tax To Price
    • This is a setting for whether to display the tax-included price in the product list and cart.
    • On the catalog side, the item Select buyer types to display prices excluding tax corresponds as the same setting item.
      • The notation setting for tax-included prices references only the link's settings. It does not reference the settings of each catalog.

Settings Related to Buyers​

The following items can be set for the link. The settings configured for the link take precedence over the settings configured for the Buyer.

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

  • Language
  • Currency
  • Billing Term
  • Transaction Term

Note that the trade terms applied at checkout do not change based on the user's login status.

Access Control and Expiration​

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

  • Passcode Enable/Disable
  • Release Date
  • Expiration date

Sign in at Checkout​

When placing an order from a Dynamic Brand Link, users sign 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.

The Buyer organization used for an order must match the Target Buyer Type configured for the link.

When a new Buyer organization is created, it is assigned the Target Buyer Type configured for the link.

When the order is completed, the Buyer organization is automatically connected to the brand as a "Connected Buyer."

However, a Buyer organization that was previously connected to the brand but is currently disconnected is not reconnected.

View-only Mode​

When "Make This Link View-Only" is enabled, the cart and ordering functions on the Dynamic Brand Link are disabled.

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

Forced Display of Address Input Field​

The address input field on the checkout screen will be displayed if a shipping fee rule is used, even if the address input field is set to be hidden.

In this case, the setting to hide the address input field is not applied to the buyer's checkout screen.

Important Notes​

Please Verify the Inquiry Recipients​

If recipient members are not selected, the inquiry will be sent to the brand's notification email address.

If the brand's notification email address is not set, it will be sent to the maker's notification email address or inquiry email address.

If a valid destination email address is not set for either the brand or the maker, the buyer cannot send an inquiry.

For details on setting notification email addresses for brands and makers, see the following guides.

Be Careful of Mistakes in Buyer Type Settings​

For a Dynamic Brand Link, set the Target Buyer Type to either "Organization" or "Personal".

Buyer Type is used to distinguish and manage Organization and Personal Buyers separately.

Do not share a "Personal" link for Organization (BtoB) transactions or an "Organization" link for Personal (BtoC) transactions.

In particular, when a Buyer organization is created for a customer using DEXTRE for the first time, an incorrect Buyer Type cannot be changed later. Take particular care when choosing the Buyer Type.

Link Release Dates and Expirations Are Managed Separately from Catalog Release Dates and Order Deadlines​

The Release Date and Expires At settings in a Dynamic Brand Link control whether the link is accessible.

On the other hand, the Release Date and Order Deadline set in the catalogs associated with the link control whether users can view or order the catalogs.

Therefore, even when the link is accessible during its valid period, the catalog's release date and order deadline may restrict users from viewing the catalog or adding products to the cart.

For details about configuring catalog release dates and order deadlines, see Edit a Catalog.

A Linked "Closed" Catalog Is Not Displayed​

You can select and link a catalog with a status of "Closed".

However, if a buyer accesses the link while the catalog remains closed, the catalog is not displayed and an error message may appear.

For details about catalog publication status, see Change the Catalog Publication Status.

If No Address Is Entered at Checkout, It Is Not Registered with the Order​

If the buyer does not enter address information at checkout, it is not registered in the order data.

If an address is required for a subsequent document, such as an Order Confirmation, the maker must add it manually.

The address input field must be enabled when using "Integrate with NEXT ENGINE"​

NEXT ENGINE order integration requires address information.

If you disable the address input field, you cannot upload orders. Be sure to enable it.

If You Deselect a Selectable Language, Its Contact Is Also Deleted​

If you deselect a selectable language, the contact set for that language is also deleted.

Please verify the contents of the contact to be deleted before changing the language.

Tax Amounts Are Still Displayed after Checkout When Apply Tax To Price Is Disabled​

When Apply Tax To Price is disabled, tax-inclusive prices are not displayed in the product list or cart.

However, the total order amount, including the tax amount, is displayed after checkout.

This setting does not disable tax calculation for the order.

Troubleshooting​

Unable to Update Because Selected Settings Are No Longer Available​

If a catalog, language, currency, Billing Term, Transaction Term, or Payment Methods selected when creating the link is no longer available, you cannot update the Dynamic Brand Link.

Check the error displayed on the edit screen, reconfigure the affected item, or review the maker's Core Preferences before updating.
