Overview
Style identifiers are how unique styles are created for a brand account through JOOR’s Data Team. The style identifiers are essential to avoiding duplicate styles and will dictate how styles will be uploaded to the brand account. Unique styles do not get created based on the style number, they get created based on the identifier. The identifier is what splits the style and makes them unique.
If you have any questions about your style identifiers, please contact your JOOR account manager.
Note: Once the style identifier is set up for an account, JOOR’s Data Team cannot change it.
Picking a Style Identifier
When picking a Style Identifier, it’s important to understand how you’d like your styles to be uploaded to your JOOR account.
For example, do you have images for every colour-way, and do you want each colour-way to be represented as a style card? If yes, you may want your style identifier to be set as style number + colour name as this would let you set up your styles based on the colour the style comes in.
Based on above, if your style identifier is style number + colour, a unique style will be created each style number and colour.
Each unique style will only be able to contain:
- 1 description
- 1 fabrication
- 1 material
- 1 silhouette
- 1 wholesale price1
- 1 retail price1
A common error when identifiers are set; for example, as style number, if your brand submits a lot of identical style numbers with different prices, materials, fabrications, etc. - this will always come back as an error because the information is not consistent.
If all your styles under the same style number are the same price for each colour, you can have your style identifier set as just the style number.
In this example, for every unique style number a new style will be created. This will let you rollup all the colours listed under the same style number to appear under just one style instead of being a separate style for each colour.
Please note, if your style identifier is set as style number and you try to submit two styles under the same style number but are for different prices, this will cause an error and the styles will not be uploaded.
