📊Business rules

• Selecting product listings: You can request to change the status of product listings by indicating the brand/SKU of the product OR a list of product listings IDs from each marketplace. One or the other. Not at the same time. => When setting product brand/SKU this method will attempt to update all the product listings belonging to that product. => When setting product listings IDs, this method will attempt to update all the given product’s active listings on the marketplace. Only product listings in active status will be processed. Paused product listings or under_review or finished product listings will not be processed. => This endpoint will not accept any SKU or product listing ID that belongs to a product, where the product is a component of one or more KITs containers. Why? By changing the price of a listing, this listing is disconnected from the product’s price. If that product is a component of a KIT container, the publications of that KIT will not be updated and will remain with an old and obsolete price. You cannot fix the price of the product listings until you remove the given product from all containers in the KITs. • Changing product listings´ s prices There are three available price attributes for product listings: => Price: Set a new fixed price. The product listing will disconnect its price product base price. Allowed values are in the range from $0.01 to $999,999,999.99. 0 (zero) is not a valid value. Negative signed numbers are not valid values.

Setting the price in a product listing causes it to be disconnected from the auto calculated price based on the base price of the product to which the product listing belongs to. So, ulterior modifications made to the price of the product will NOT impact the product listing price.

=> Margin: Set a new margin, based on its product base price. Allowed values are in the range from -99.99 to 99.99. => AddedFixedValue: Set an extra/additional fixed value to the product listing, based on its product base price. Allowed values are in the range from -9,999.99 to 9,999.99.
