Sample Usage

POST V1/negotiableQuote/request

Payload

{
  "quoteId": 3,
  "quoteName": "First quote",
  "comment": "Requesting a 5% discount",
  "files": [
    {
      "base64_encoded_data": "VGhhbmsgeW91IGZvciByZWFkaW5nIHRoZSBNYWdlbnRvIEIyQiBkb2N1bWVudGF0aW9uLg==",
      "name": "quote.txt"
    }
  ]
}

Response

true, indicating the request was successful

Magento creates a negotiable quote in the Created state.

Submit a negotiable quote to a buyer

When you submit a negotiable quote to the buyer, the status for the buyer changes to “Updated”. The buyer can subsequently edit or update the quote.

The seller can send a request to submit the quote to the buyer. The request can be submitted only for quotes in the following system states:

Created
Processing by admin
Submitted by customer

When the quote is submitted to the buyer:

Magento checks catalog prices (price per item), cart rules, and discounts then recalculates the prices and taxes. The shipping price and the negotiated price are not affected (if they are entered into the quote).
Items that are no longer active or available for this buyer are removed from quote and prices are recalculated.
The quote state is changed to Submitted by admin.

Service Name

negotiableQuoteNegotiableQuoteManagementV1

Sample Usage

POST /V1/negotiableQuote/submitToCustomer

Payload

{
  "quoteId": 3,
  "comment": "It'd be our pleasure. Please proceed with your order."
}

Response

true, indicating the request was successful

Update a quote

Use the PUT /V1/negotiableQuote/:quoteId call to update a quote. See Update a negotiable quote for use cases.

Recalculate prices

The process of completing a negotiable quote can take days, or even longer. During that time, the prices for the items in the quote may have changed directly or indirectly. For example, someone could have changed prices in the shared catalogs or adjusted price rules, and the prices in the negotiable quote are stale. This call refreshes item prices, taxes, discounts, cart rules in the negotiable quote. Quotes that are locked for the seller will not be updated.

The request can be applied to one or more quotes at the same time.

Sample Usage

POST /V1/negotiableQuote/pricesUpdated

Payload

{
  "quoteIds": [3]
}

Response

true, indicating the request was successful

Set the shipping method

To set the shipping method, the quote must be in the created, processing_by_admin or submitted_by_customer. In addition, the quote must have a shipping address but no shipping method or shipping price.

Sample Usage

PUT /V1/negotiableQuote/3/shippingMethod

Payload

{
  "shippingMethod": "fixedrate"
}

Response

Decline a quote

The seller can send a request to decline the quote. The request can be submitted only for quotes in the following system states:

Created
Processing by admin
Submitted by customer

When you decline a quote, all custom pricing will be removed from the quote. The buyer will be able to place an order using their standard catalog prices and discounts.

Miscellaneous operations

These tasks are not essential for completing a negotiable quote, but might be useful

List all comments for a quote

Magento returns all the comments associated with the specified quote ID. The comments are listed in chronological order, with the oldest comment listed first. A creator_type value of 3 indicates the buyer made the comment. If the value is 2, the seller commented.

Sample Usage

GET /V1/negotiableQuote/87/comments
