Webstore Developer News
Read below to learn more about some of our advanced Application Program Interfaces (APIs) and innovative initiatives.
Externalization APIs, Build Your Own Features: Webstore’s set of buyer-facing discovery APIs include: product, search, cart, and a cart transition (interstitial) page from external discovery applications to website purchase. Webstore’s buyer-facing API allows you to customize and extend the Webstore storefront website experience. The Webstore API can be used to enable iPhone/Android apps, video links (Overlay TV), storefront flash widgets, gift finders, product comparators, Facebook apps, and Deal of the Day apps. Our most successful sellers leverage our Solution Provider network (e.g., Atmosphere Solutions, eFashion Solutions, etc.) to implement our buyer facing APIs with businesses like Secondipity, Karen Millen and Expo Marker.
- Secondipity (Dyscern) launched their “Deal of the Day” (DotD) website. The site utilizes product and cart APIs to pull specific product information to their home page and a specialized DotD browse page.
- Karen Millen launched their website with a Catwalk feature. This feature is a specialized discovery flash application that utilizes product and cart APIs.
- Expo Markers (Rubbermaid) launched with a simulated “bundle” product. A bundle is sold as a single product with one price but made up of multiple individual products and utilizes the product and cart APIs.
To find out more about this feature, contact us or one of our solution providers for more information.
