On Wednesday, May 16, at 9 p.m. PT, until Thursday, May 17, at 6 a.m. PT, Yahoo! Merchant Solutions will perform work for a closed beta feature release. While we do this work, there may be a 15 to 20-minute period during which shoppers may be unable to use coupons or gift certificates, order numbers may not be generated, registered customers will not be able to view their order history, and Order, Payment, and Catalog APIs will not be available. Store Manager will not be available during this 15 to 20-minute period. Merchants are advised to complete work in Order Manager before the release work begins. FDMS batch submissions and site statistics reporting may be delayed until the following day.
Please note: Merchants using the Database Inventory feature should set their “Quantity can Exceed Availability” setting to “Yes” for the release period, or orders may not be accepted. Your inventory will automatically be updated to reflect new orders once work is complete. Orders received during this time should be checked against available item quantities to ensure the order can be filled.
To modify the “Quantity can Exceed Availability” setting:
- In Store Manager, click the “Configure Inventory” link (located in the Order Settings column).
- In the Settings Section, change “Quantity can Exceed Availability” to “Yes.”
- Click the “Update” button.
- Publish your Order Settings.
Following the release period, you may restore your original settings to prevent items from being ordered when they’re not in stock. We apologize for any inconvenience.
