Sales

A shopping workflow consists of three sections: the Catalog, Carting, and the Order. This document provides general information on all three in addition to links to more indepth discussion on each.

• The Catalog sub system houses all functionality to get items that can be added to a cart and purchased by the end user.
• See Catalog Search for more info.

• The cart holds all the information for a user's current shopping session. It includes all items, payments, taxes, and discounts that are being considered for the final sale.

• Carting

  • Carting refers to the actions that can be performed on carts. These actions are used to put together a cart that can be checked out.

• The Shopping Context

  • A user is provided one shopping session that is automatically managed by the sales system. All carting actions are automatically synchronized to that single shopping session.
  • The current shopping session can be abandoned via the following endpoint: DELETE Sales/{subscriberId}/Carts
  • The current shopping session's cart can be seen with: GET Sales/{subscriberId}/Carts
• See Carting for more info.

• An Order represents a finalized and processed cart. It is a final record of a successfully processed cart.
