# Connect Your PIM

> Keep product data and pricing in your PIM. Spree syncs content in, renders from its own copy, and can price live from an external source at cart decision moments.

## Coming soon

<Note>
  The following features are on the open-source roadmap. The interfaces described here may change before release.
</Note>

Your PIM owns product content — names, descriptions, attributes, associations, prices. Spree renders the shopper-facing copy and asks your systems live only where a stale answer would cost money.

## Product data feeds

Products, variants and prices flow in through the Admin API and CSV imports. Feeds address records by the keys your PIM already uses via external references (`external:<system>:<id>`), so an integration never has to store Spree IDs to update what it created.

## The pricing provider

For merchants whose prices are computed elsewhere — contract pricing from an ERP, a pricing service, a PIM-driven price feed — a pricing provider answers price questions at cart decision moments with Spree's own price record shape. Tax-inclusive restatement and serializers keep working without knowing the number's origin.

Two properties of the contract matter for operations:

* **A provider declares a cache lifetime** and can decline anonymous browsing contexts, sending catalog pages straight to the local price resolver.
* **Pricing refuses on failure** rather than falling back — charging the wrong price is a dispute, not a retry.

## Price imports

Price lists and plain price updates load through CSV imports and the Admin API, writing history rather than silently overwriting — the audit trail shows what changed and when.
