Markets
The market object and the allowed CRUD operations on the related resource endpoint
A market is made of a merchant, an inventory model, and a price list (plus an optional customer group, geocoder, and tax calculator).
Sales channels must specify a market scope when obtaining an access token. This way, all the resources (e.g., SKUs, prices, stock items) are automatically filtered.
Markets are automatically enabled at the time of creation, but they can be disabled by sending a
PATCH request with the _disable trigger attribute set to true. Similarly, you can use the _enable trigger attribute to re-enable a disabled market. Once a market is disabled it is excluded from any authorization scope recalculation: existing access tokens previously created with that market in scope receive a 422 Unprocessable Entity error on market-specific actions (e.g. if you try to create/update an order or a line item), any attempts to request a new access token with that market in scope receive a 400 Bad Request error (due to invalid scope).Your plan limits refer to active (i.e. enabled) markets only. If you've reached your plan's limit in terms of the number of markets, make sure to disable one of the active markets before enabling a new one.
When setting up a market, you can decide to manage some market-specific features using an external/custom service. Specifically:
- Prices — fill in the
external_prices_urlfield with your external service endpoint and follow the external prices guide for more information on how to inject the unit amount price of a specific line item from an external source. - Order validation — fill in the
external_order_validation_urlfield with your external service endpoint and follow the external order validation guide for more information on how to trigger the validation of a specific order from an external source.
When activating both of the features above, a shared secret is generated at the market level. You can use it to verify the related callback authenticity.
