ValidateStock (Global-e to Merchant)
This API is part of Global-e’s extensions and plug-ins. Merchants do not need to implement this API unless a custom integration is required.
The Merchant Cart Validation checks basic cart validity and validates the product’s stock availability. If a product line cart item listed in order.Products does not have full stock availability for the specified quantity, this cart item is included in the AmendedProducts array with an indication of the quantity actually available. If all items are in stock, the AmendedProducts array is empty. If required, the ValidateStock API is called when the shopper is in the Global‑e checkout. If the AmendedProducts array is not empty, the list of out-of-stock products is displayed to the shopper.
In the GEM integration method, the GetCheckoutCartInfo API may be reused for stock validation purposes.
