Digital Platform API - Deal From Package service

  • Article

A package is a deal that a seller is prepared to offer to any buyer. Buyer members use the Package Buyer Access Service to browse available packages and find one that meets their needs. Then buyers use the Deal From Package service to generate a deal between themselves and the seller.

Once you have generated a deal, you can view deal details including description and deal pricing using the Deal Buyer Access Service.
