API Documentation

If you are going to exchange transactions via API for any of the message flows supported by Absolute Snow (such as catalog, inventory, consuming orders, shipments, cancels, create returns, updating of returns), you will need to use the V3 API specifications in conjunction with the Required Fields by Workflow document on this page (to outline specifically which attributes are relevant for the Absolute Snow connection).

The V3 API Specifications page also includes information on how you can use APIs for certain Marketplace flows if you do not wish to use the platform's web application for any of these. For example:

• Get Commissions API
• Get Settlement Records API

As the Promotions feature is not yet supported by Absolute Snow, the following APIs should not yet be used for this program:

• Create Promotion API
• Update Promotion API
• Get Promotions API

Any discount pricing should be processed by updating your inventory with your latest Listing Price. The MSRP value (uploaded via Catalog) will also be available for Absolute Snow to use for displaying the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price.
