XML Developer Information

WeFulfillIT.com provides information to shopping carts using XML technology. The primary location of this information script can be found at http://mis.wefulfillit.com/inforequest.asp. This is the URL to post the XML requests. Depending on the request, information is fed back in XML format.

 

Inventory XML Request

In order to receive live, dynamic inventory counts of the merchant product list, submit a inventory request. Sample information in the posting xml looks something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<INFOREQUEST>
	<TYPE>INVENTORY</TYPE>
	<MERCHANTID>1441</MERCHANTID>
	<PASSWORD>Password</PASSWORD>
</INFOREQUEST>

The XML to post for a Inventory Count should consist of

<INFOREQUEST></INFOREQUEST> is the parent tag of the XML file and contains the entire contents of the inventory request XML.
<TYPE>INVENTORY</TYPE> Specifies the info-request type. In this case, it is INVENTORY.
<MERCHANTID>1441</MERCHANTID> Identify your WeFulfuillIT.com merchant ID number.
<PASSWORD>your password</PASSWORD>Enter the password that you use to login in to the Merchant Information Station.

After submitting the Inventory Request XML, the data returned is a detailed list of current SKU's and the associated count for that SKU:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
<INVENTORY>
	<ITEM>
		<SKU>58499</SKU>
		<TOTAL>0</TOTAL>
	</ITEM>
	<ITEM>
		<SKU>1441-2136</SKU>
		<TOTAL>0</TOTAL>
	</ITEM>
	<ITEM>
