Qikink only knows what to print when each product in your store points to a Qikink SKU. On this page you link your products to Qikink SKUs and add what Qikink charges you for each one.

## Before you start

- Finish [Connect your Qikink account](/qikink/set-up/connect-your-qikink-account). Commera needs the **Supplier** set there before it can save any SKU.
- Have your Qikink SKUs ready. A Qikink SKU stands for one model in one colour and one size, so a T-shirt sold in four sizes needs four SKUs.

You can use two kinds of SKU:

- **Your own design.** Make the design on Qikink and copy its SKU from Qikink's **My Products** page. Qikink prints your design on it.
- **A plain catalog product.** Use a blank product's SKU from Qikink's catalog, such as `MVnHs-Wh-S`. Qikink ships it without any print.

## Link each variant to a Qikink SKU

1. In the Commera sidebar, click **Products** and open the product.
2. Click **More actions** (the **...** button next to **Save** at the top right).
3. Under **Plugins**, click **Set Qikink SKUs**.

4. The dialog shows one row for each variant, by colour and size. A product without variants shows one row. In each row:
   - Type the Qikink SKU in the box that says **Not mapped**.
   - Tick **Plain** if it is a plain catalog SKU. Leave **Plain** off if it is your own design from **My Products**.
5. Click **Save SKUs**. Commera shows "Qikink SKUs saved".

When you save, Commera marks each variant that has a SKU as one that Qikink ships for you, with Qikink as its supplier.

:::caution[Map every variant you want Qikink to ship]
A variant you leave as **Not mapped** is not sent to Qikink. It stays an ordinary product that you ship yourself.
:::

:::note
If you clear a SKU that you saved before, Commera still treats that variant as a Qikink product. Checkout then refuses it: a shopper who has it in the cart sees "can't be ordered right now" and must remove it to check out. Add the SKU back to sell it again.
:::

If Commera says "Choose the Qikink supplier first", go to **Settings > Installed plugins > Qikink** and fill in **Supplier**, then try again.

## Check the Qikink card

Back on the product page, look at the **Qikink** card on the right. It shows how many variants have a SKU, for example "2 of 4 mapped to a Qikink SKU". Under that, each variant shows its SKU and its kind (**Plain** or **My Products**), or **Not mapped**.

## Add a buying price for each variant

For every order, Commera records a purchase from Qikink at the price in your buying price list. Add one price for each variant you mapped. You do this in the Desk.

1. Find the variant's code. On the product page in Commera, scroll to the **Stock** table. The **SKU** column there shows each variant's code, for example `CCS-TEE-XL`. This is your store's own code, not the Qikink SKU.
2. Open the Desk, click **Search**, type **New Item Price** and press Enter.
3. In **Item Code**, choose the variant's code.
4. In **Price List**, choose your buying price list, for example **Standard Buying**. **Buying** gets ticked for you.
5. In **Rate**, enter what Qikink charges you for this variant.
6. Click **Save**. Repeat for each mapped variant.

:::tip
If a buying price is missing, the order still goes to Qikink, but Commera can't record the purchase. Add the price, then ask your administrator to make the Purchase Order for that order. [How orders reach Qikink](/qikink/orders/how-orders-reach-qikink) explains this.
:::

**How you know it worked:** the product's **Qikink** card shows every variant you sell through Qikink as mapped, and each of those variants has a price on your buying price list.
