Generate SKU Schema

Overview

Stock keeping unit or SKU is a number assigned to a particular product by a digital or physical retail store for easy identification and inventory tracking purposes. The SKU number is a string of alphanumeric characters that uniquely identify details such as price, product options, and manufacturer of a particular product or service. SKUs are used in order notifications, electronic delivery, export files, etc.

SKU Management

For companies that manage large product catalogs with defined SKUs and that make regular changes to their prices and products (new versions, new options), the manual process performed in the Merchant Control Panel needs to be supported by an automatic solution as well. By using an automated flow, merchants decrease the time needed for this process, and also reduce the risk of human errors associated with the manual process.

In the 2Checkout platform, SKUs can be associated with a unique combination made up of:

  • Product identification element
  • Pricing configuration
  • Plus minimum one of the following:
    • Currency – defined as applicable to all currencies or only to specific ones
    • Volume Discounts – defined as specific quantity or intervals (applicable only according to the volume discounts that are defined at pricing configuration level)
    • Purchase Types – possible values: new purchase, renewal, upgrade, and trial
    • Pricing Options – will be available considering the pricing option groups assigned to the selected pricing configuration

Search methods pagination

Overview

Starting with 2Checkout API 5.0, search methods are including the option of pagination. Pagination has been developed for decreasing the request loading time, while allowing you to better handle the returning responses.

How it works?

Pagination works on all the search methods existing on 2Checkout API 5.0. The default pagination behavior is to display page 1 with 10 results. The maximum number of items displayed on a single page is 200.

Parameters

To use pagination, include the Pagination object inside the search method call, using the parameters below:

Parameters Type/Description
Pagination Object
  Details below.
  Page Int
    Set the number of pages that should be returned.
  Limit Int
    Set a limit for the number of results that should be returned.

Response

The response of search methods that are including pagination will contain a new object, with the following parameters:

Parameters Type/Description
Pagination Object
  Details below
  Page Int
    Set the number of pages that should be returned.
  Limit Int
    Set a limit for the number of results that should be returned.
  Count Int
    Number of total results returned

Sample request

The below PHP sample includes a search method for subscriptions.

<?php

require('PATH_TO_AUTH');

$SubscriptionSearch = new stdClass();
$SubscriptionSearch->CustomerEmail  = 'email@avangate.com';
$SubscriptionSearch->DeliveredCode = null;
$SubscriptionSearch->AvangateCustomerReference = null;
$SubscriptionSearch->ExternalCustomerReference = null;
$SubscriptionSearch->Aggregate = false;
$SubscriptionSearch->SubscriptionEnabled = null; //true false null
$SubscriptionSearch->RecurringEnabled = null; // true - autorenewal, false - manual renewal, null = both(default)
$SubscriptionSearch->ProductCodes = null; //array('Product_Code1', 'Product_Code2');
$SubscriptionSearch->CountryCodes = null;//array ('au')
$SubscriptionSearch->PurchasedAfter = null;
$SubscriptionSearch->PurchasedBefore = null;
$SubscriptionSearch->ExpireAfter = null;
$SubscriptionSearch->ExpireBefore = null;
$SubscriptionSearch->LifetimeSubscription = null;
$SubscriptionSearch->Type = 'regular'; //'trial', 'regular', 'regularfromtrial'
$SubscriptionSearch->TestSubscription = null; // true, false, null = both(default)
$SubscriptionSearch->Pagination = new stdClass();
$SubscriptionSearch->Pagination->Page = 1; // set the number of pages for the response
$SubscriptionSearch->Pagination->Limit = 200; // set the limit for the values from the response

try {
    $accountSubscriptions = $client->searchSubscriptions($sessionID, $SubscriptionSearch);
}
catch (SoapFault $e) {
    echo "accountSubscriptions: " . $e->getMessage();
    exit;
}
var_dump("accountSubscriptions", $accountSubscriptions);
