We know that many of our merchants operate separate online storefronts for different sales regions. For example, webstore.co.uk for UK orders and webstore.com for US orders).
For merchants selling in “regions”, it’s often useful to know the inventory in aggregate for a whole distribution region (e.g. “US” inventory and “UK” inventory).
To simplify these queries, Shipwire has added a warehouse country selector to our inventory API, to allow these merchants to retrieve inventory information a whole country at a time.
See the updated Real-time Inventory DTD for more information about the <WarehouseCountry> element.
You can also pull inventory information by specific warehouse or Shipwire Anywhere locations. This has been available for some time.
