Inventory Presell

Inventory Presell API​

Use the Inventory Presell API to determine if a given SKU is:

  • available - Inventory is in stock right now.
  • presell - Inventory is incoming.
  • unavailable - No inventory available or incoming.

If Available to Promise inventory is greater than 0 then available is returned.

If Available to Promise inventory + Incoming is greater than 0 then presell is returned. A ship_date is also provided. This is the latest possible estimated_arrival_time of shipments linked to the location via aggregate locations

  {
    "sku": "[sku-arg]",
    "channel_id": "[channel-id-arg]",
    "status": "presell",
    "ship_date": "2023-10-30T03:02:34.379+00:00"
  }
]

The presell function will never throw any expected errors. It will always return a 200 Response Status with an array consisting of 1 or 0 elements. This can be unwrapped for you by setting the accept header to application/vnd.pgrst.object+json. If there is no result a 406 Not Acceptable status code will instead be returned. If there is a result it will be unwrapped:

{
  "sku": "[sku-arg]",
  "channel_id": "[channel-id-arg]",
  "status": "presell",
  "ship_date": "2023-10-30T03:02:34.379+00:00"
}
