Domestic and International Price

[barykada90]

There seems to be something missing in the entire API's schema.
We have a system where we need to synchronise quantity - in order to do that, we need to use PUT updateListingInventory call (as that's the only endpoint allowing to update quantity) but then the price is required which is international price.
After the update, if the listing has domestic&international pricing enabled, the call makes it off and the domestic price field blank.

Please help as this makes synchronisation completely pointless if some fields need to be rewritten and lost.

I have encountered this as well.
This options is only available for shops in some regions (ex: India) but it's not mentioned anywhere in the API.
Any of those shops cannot use the API to manage inventory without sacrificing the domestic & international pricing.

That's just ridiculous, you can't use it then without messing up the customer's data...

Can you give some more insights into:

This is super frustrating. Data of one my client got messed up.

The response from the inventory API has price as a json object with currency code. But when posting the inventory data the price field is a float.

This is not the first time etsy API has caused us huge trouble. Please get this fixed etsy team!!

Do we know if there'll be any progress on this? it's kinda makes updating and synchronising everything redundant for listings with domestic and international prices...

My understanding is that the Etsy team does not review these discussions. Have you found any workarounds that allowed you to modify the international prices or does it still remain out of our reach?

Then what's the point of having this forum if they're not checking them? Very frustrating :<
I'm afraid I haven't found any workaround... :(

@nateswart - I don't want to believe that's true? :)

Because it is a "Communtiy" discussion board now.

When the repo was first created, Etsy used it to work with the community to build\Test the v3 API. But the moment the API when Live, they jumped ship, turned off raising issues, and said this is only for community members to help each other. Etsy Devs, like @nateswart will pop in every now and then to let us know if a breaking change is inbound, or apologies for a last minute breaking change.

The only way to "try" to talk to an Etsy developer is via deceloper@etsy.com but even then they are not very respondant.

Unfortunately the Etsy API, a long with a rich app echo system, isn't a priority for Etsy. They simply want users using their Website and App. Which is frustrating for people like us which want to build apps which plug missing functionality from Etsy to help sellers work more efficiently etc.

Hi,
so, by any chance, are there any updates on this?

We just learned we have the same problem: When updating the quantities, only the international price is left in the offer. When pulling the inventories (GET getListingInventory) we also only get one offering with the international price instead of (expected) two.

Is there any way to find out, (via tha API) whether a product as only one price or an domestic/international? Then it this major(!) issue could be at least work-arounded by a notification to check the products manually.
