On Thursday, November 3, at 10 p.m. PT, until Friday, November 4, at 2 a.m. PT, Yahoo! Merchant Solutions will perform important system maintenance. Only stores with a maintenance notice in Store Manager are affected. While we perform this work, shoppers may be unable to use coupons or gift certificates when placing an order, order numbers may not be generated, registered customers will not be able to view their order history, and the Order API, Catalog API, and Store Manager will not be available. Store publishes will be interrupted and merchants are advised to complete any publishes and work in Order Manager before the maintenance 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 maintenance period, or orders may not be accepted. Your inventory will automatically be updated to reflect new orders once maintenance 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 on “Configure Inventory” (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 maintenance period, you may restore your original settings if needed, to prevent items from being ordered when they’re not in stock. We apologize for any inconvenience.
