🔍 More Fields for Search Associate Endpoint

The Search Associate endpoint for the Public API allows you to search for all Associates that match the given search term. Now, we’ve updated this endpoint to include all the following fields in the response:

• BackOffice Id (publicly known ID)
• Customer Id (internal DirectScale ID)
• First Name
• Last Name
• Legal First Name
• Legal Last Name
• Romanized First Name
• Romanized Last Name
• Associate Type (name)
• Associate Type ID
• Profile Image URL
• Status ID
• Primary Phone
• Text Number
• Email
• City
• State
• Country

👍 Simplified Calculate Customer Order Total Request

We’ve simplified the request to the Public API Calculate Customer Order Total endpoint allowing you to pass in fewer fields.

For example, the following example will get a successful response:

{
  "StoreId": 3,
  "CurrencyCode": "usd",
  "PriceGroup": 2,
  "OrderType": 1,
  "Items": [
    {
      "ItemId": 3169,
      "Quantity": 1,
      "IsReward": false
    }
  ]
}

With our partner providers creating custom eCommerce sites for clients, passing in a simple request body is helpful, especially for enrollment when you don’t know the customer’s address or chosen shipping method yet.

Note:
- Existing clients using the Calculate Customer Order Total endpoint can still call it in the same way they are currently.
- Only shipping methods that are configured for the passed-in storeID are returned in the response.
