Packs management

Entities relationship

The diagram illustrates how the key components are interrelated within a pack:

• Pack: It becomes a mandatory component in all purchases, as all orders will be associated with a pack_id.
• Relationship with Order: There is a 1 to N relationship between a pack and one or more orders. This means that a pack can contain multiple orders, which reflects situations where several orders are grouped into a single pack.
• Relationship with Shipping: There is a 0 to 1 relationship, which suggests that a pack may or may not be linked to a shipping process. This case is common, especially in sales of not_specified items, where a shipment_id is not always required.
• Relationship with Payments: There is a 1 to N relationship between an order and one or more payments. This implies that an order may require multiple payments, such as in the case of installment payments or when an order is associated with various different transactions.

This diagram provides a clear view of the flow of packs, orders, shipping, and payments, highlighting the flexibility and possible variations in each component.

Considerations

• The pack_order tag is generated automatically to identify if the order is associated with a pack. This tag cannot be removed by the buyer or the seller.
• Sometimes, it may happen that, even though there is an order, the shipment takes time to be created. In these cases, the shipping ID will be null until the shipment is created, and you will receive a notification once it is generated.
• The delivered/not delivered tags will no longer be added automatically. If you need these tags to be present, the integrator will have to perform a PUT with the corresponding tag.
• Orders in paid status will be canceled if the payment is refunded. When this happens, you will receive a notification to keep you informed of the order's status change.
• Although the order will still display the seller_custom_field field, the information displayed in this field will follow certain criteria to select SKU information, such as:
  • seller_sku of variation attributes
  • seller_custom_field of variation
  • seller_sku of item attributes
  • seller_custom_field of item
• If the order is not associated with a pack and the transaction is under the "to be agreed" mode, you will no longer receive a to be agreed status. Instead, the shipping ID will come as null. This will signal that you need to contact the buyer to coordinate the shipping method.
