Offer Feed - "Local Inventory" (offer mode)

This feed enables you to manage searchable items within a specific context (store, seller, etc.) and also make vary information regarding this context, including:

• prices
• promotions
• availability
• context-specific attributes

Definition of an Offer

An offer (searchable item) is defined as:

id (from catalog feed) + store_code

• item_id must match the catalog feed SKU (id)
• store_code defines the context (website contexte, physical or virtual store, marketplace seller, etc.)

Make sure to only provide offers for items provided in your catalog feed.

Front-end Context Requirement

The store_code must be accessible on your website via:

• Cookie
• JavaScript function
• Variable
• Data Layer

➡️ This allows Sensefuel to synchronize search results with the correct context

If you integrate Sensefuel with our API make sure to provide in each API query the "store_id" parameter.

Example for a search query : 

POST https://api.sensefuel.live/discovery/96cd2378-sample-1-b92af0700c54/search
{
    "query" : {
        "terms" : {
            "expression" : "sneakers"
        },
        "store_id": "dummySeller"
    }
    //[...]
}
