VCS Prices

There is no change in price feeds when a seller is in the VCS program. For sellers in the VCS program, all prices need to remain VAT inclusive in the price feed. VAT exclusive prices will be automatically derived from the inclusive price that has been provided as explained in the methodology document. Offers from VCS sellers will automatically show VAT-exclusive prices to Business Customers on search results, product detail, cart, and checkout pages.

The SKU you're using might have special characters, like a back or forward slash (\, /), that require URL encoding. This can be done programatically in several languages. Here is an example in Java:

import java.net.URLEncoder;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException*;*
 
 // Method to encode a SKU using the UTF-8 encoding scheme
  private static String encodeSKU(String sSKU) {
    try {
      return URLEncoder.encode(sSKU, StandardCharsets.UTF_8.toString());
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException ex) {
      e*.*printStackTrace*();*
    }
  }
