Overview

Catalog Overview

The Offer Search API lets you search across offers from all merchants that you are connected to within the Violet network and provides robust filter criteria that you can use to power your gallery.

Offer Search

A Product Offer is a merchant's offering of a product. Since multiple merchants can be selling the same product, Violet provides you with each of the offers so that you can choose which suits your system best. 

Product Offers

Get all information about an individual Product such as description, brand, offers, related SKUs, variations, etc.

Products by ID

The product search resource enables you to discover the products available to you within the Violet product catalog. Using any of the filter criteria described below, you can retrieve information on products that match that criteria. 

Product Search

The product filtering resource enables you to filter against a list of products. This endpoint behaves very much like product search, however instead of searching for and filtering against new products, you are filtering a specified list of products. This API comes in handy when you're filtering against products of a certain category, since there can be thousands of products that meet your criteria. 

Product Filtering

Each product belong to a predefined Category. You can access all available Categories for products using the Get Categories API, which returns a list of categories products from merchants you have access to belong to. 

Get Categories

Given certain criteria, you may only want to show Categories of products that match these critera. With the Search Categories API you can filter for categories based on a filter query. 

Search Categories

When choosing an item for an order, you may want to retrieve all information related to that specific variation of that product. You can do this by passing in the SKU of the product and retrieving all information related to that SKU.

Checkout Overview

Carts and Bags

Cart creation begins the checkout process. An empty cart with no products can be created, or a cart prefilled with items can be created for your shopper. 

Create a Cart

Once a cart has been created you can begin adding items to it. Items are added by their SKU ID. SKUs can be found by searching the product catalog, and then selecting the desired SKU of the desired offer.

Add Item to Cart

Once items are added to a cart, it's possible to add discounts to it.

Add Discount to Cart

This API lets you apply customer information to the cart. The primary purpose of the customer data is to provide the merchant with enough information to communicate with the customer once the order has been submitted.

Apply Customer to Cart

Addresses are required for merchants to determine where to ship the orders to. Both shipping and billing addresses are required by merchants to execute an order. 

Apply Address to Cart

Shipping methods are required for merchants to determine how to deliver the order to the shopper. Shipping methods are chosen by the shopper.

Retrieve and Apply Shipping Methods

There are currently two methods for applying a guest payment method to a cart. The first method is to apply a generated payment token where the card data was tokenized before sending it to Violet. The second method is to send raw card data directly to Violet.

Apply Payment Method to Cart

Once your cart has been fully populated and you’re ready to collect the cart totals you can price the cart. This request will calculate your subtotal, shipping total, tax total, and grand total.

Price Cart

When you cart is ready for submission you can request confirmation from the shopper and submit the order.
