Deals API for Suppliers V1 to V2 Migration Guide

Warning

In Q3 2024, we will begin gradually phasing out of the Deals API v1.0, starting with sunsetting the POST method.

This document describes the main differences between Deals API v1 and v2, as well as the main attention points for Suppliers to successfully migrate from v1 to v2.

The concept of revision, the main difference between two versions and supported in v2, effects every step of migration. The sections below detail how to meet the requirements of this new concept. Refer to V2 Deals API for Suppliers for detailed description of revisions.

Deals API Fields Mapping

As part of supporting the concept of revisions in Deals API v2, all Deals API fields have been split into deals fields and revisions fields. Some fields from v1 have been changed or replaced in v2; there are also new revision specific fields.

Deals API POST Method Changes

The concept of revisions itself defines the difference between POST in Deals API v1 and v2. When sending POST requests in v2, pay attention to separating the fields into those for the deal itself and those for revision. See the POST request example in v2 below.
