How it works

From incoming Sales Order to tracked shipment —
in one connected workflow.

Every purchase order in PromoLink follows the same path: validated, confirmed, transmitted, and tracked. No skipping steps. No manual detours.

1

Queue

Every order, from every channel, lands in one Queue.

2

Validate

Errors blocked, warnings flagged — nothing unresolved moves forward.

3

Cart

Review costs and totals; pick warehouse or drop-ship routing.

4

Generate POs

Blank and Decorated POs created automatically — sent only on your confirmation.

5

Transmit

PromoStandards electronic, or automatic PDF/email. ACKs captured.

6

Track

Status, ship dates, tracking, and partial shipments — all in Order Summary.

Catch problems before they cost you.

Every Sales Order validated in the Queue before a PO leaves your hands.

Every order enters the Queue — a mandatory validation checkpoint before it can become a purchase order. Misconfigured products, missing decoration locations, supplier minimums — flagged and stopped before a single PO goes out. Nothing bypasses it.

Hard errors block submission — a product without a decoration location cannot proceed
Soft warnings alert you to supplier restrictions (minimums, lead times) so you can adjust before committing
Explicit confirmation required on every PO — no accidental sends, ever
💰

EQP Pricing — applied automatically

End Quantity Pricing gives buyers the best price tier regardless of order quantity. PromoLink checks EQP eligibility per supplier, shows you a side-by-side comparison with standard tier pricing, and applies it when eligible — before you confirm the PO.

Built for decorated orders

One sales order.
Two purchase orders. Zero manual splitting.

A decorated promotional product involves two separate purchasing steps: the blank good from a supplier, and the decoration from a decorator. PromoLink generates both POs automatically from a single order — no spreadsheet coordination, no manual re-entry.

Blank PO

To the Supplier

The undecorated product — correct SKU, color, size, quantity, and ship-to address — sent directly to the supplier via PromoStandards endpoint or PDF/email fallback.

Decorated PO

To the Decorator

Decoration method, placement location, artwork reference, setup charges, and run charges — sent to the decorator with all the information they need to start production.

Both POs are tracked individually. Supplier shipment status and decorator production progress visible in one Order Summary screen. Drop-ship orders follow the same workflow — ship destination changes, process stays the same.

Full visibility, end to end.

Always know exactly where your order stands.

From the moment a PO is sent to the moment it ships, you have a live view. Production status, expected ship dates, tracking numbers, partial shipments — all pulled directly from supplier endpoints and consolidated in one place.

Live status — In Production, Shipped, Canceled — straight from supplier endpoints
Partial shipments shown separately, each with its own tracking
One Order Summary for PO, financials, line items, shipments, and ACKs
Status syncs to StoreFront automatically — your customer sees what you see
Who it's for

FAQ

Common questions about
PromoLink Purchase Orders

Does PromoLink PO work with suppliers that don't support PromoStandards?

Yes. For suppliers without a PromoStandards PO endpoint, PromoLink automatically formats and delivers the purchase order as a PDF via email. You configure the email template and recipients — the system handles the rest. The order is still validated, logged, and tracked the same way regardless of delivery method.

Can I log supplier orders I placed outside of PromoLink — by phone or email?

Yes. The Mark as Sent feature lets you record any order placed outside the system without re-transmitting it to the supplier. The order appears in your history and audit trail with full visibility, but no duplicate PO is sent.

Does PromoLink automatically generate separate POs for blank goods and decoration?

Yes. When a sales order includes decorated products, PromoLink generates a Blank PO for the supplier and a Decorated PO for the decorator — separately and automatically from the same order during the PO confirmation step. You don't need to split the order manually or coordinate between two systems.

What is EQP pricing and how does PromoLink handle it?

EQP (End Quantity Pricing) is a pricing model where a buyer receives the best available price tier regardless of the quantity ordered. Supplier EQP eligibility is managed in the Supplier Index. During checkout, PromoLink checks eligibility automatically, presents a comparison between EQP and standard tier pricing, and applies EQP when active. An EQP disclaimer is shown and must be accepted each time an eligible PO is submitted.

Where do orders come from? What sales channels feed the PO Queue?

The Queue accepts orders from any channel connected to PromoLink Core: native channels include PromoLink Storefront, ShowCase, and manual Sales Orders. External channels include BigCommerce, Shopify, WooCommerce, OMG, and Propago. Regardless of source, every order passes through the same validation before becoming a purchase order.

Does PromoLink PO track order status and shipment information from suppliers?

Yes, for suppliers that support PromoStandards Order Status (OS) and Order Shipment Notification (OSN) endpoints. PromoLink captures production status updates, expected ship dates, tracking numbers, carrier details, and partial shipment data — all consolidated in the Order Summary screen. For suppliers that don't participate in OS/OSN, manual tracking is required for those fields specifically.

Is PromoLink PO a standalone product or does it require other modules?

The Purchase Order module is part of PromoLink Core and works together with Product Manager (for product and decoration data) and Supplier Index (for supplier credentials and pricing). Products must be configured in Product Manager — or mapped equivalently at the order source — before a Sales Order can convert into a PO. ERP and accounting integrations such as QuickBooks Online are separately licensed add-ons.
