On Tuesday, September 27, at 9 p.m. PT, until Wednesday, September 28, at 7:30 a.m. PT, Yahoo! Merchant Solutions will perform system updates to release a new feature for Yahoo! Merchant Solutions and Yahoo! Store customers. While we do this work, merchants may experience a 30 to 45-minute period of time during which shoppers may be unable to use coupons or gift certificates when placing an order, order numbers may not be generated, and the order API may not be available. Store Manager will not be available during this 30 to 45-minute period, and merchants are advised to complete store publishes and work in Order Manager before the updates begin. 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 update period, or orders may not be accepted. Your inventory will automatically be updated to reflect new orders once these updates are 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 update 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.
