Inventory API overview

Current version: 1.0
For versioning details, read the Upgrade guide.

Use the Inventory API to read and adjust stock information for product variants on a Squarespace merchant site. Inventory can be limited ("tracked") or unlimited ("not tracked").

What information isn't available?

  • Information for products that are not physical goods or services, e.g. gift cards, download products
  • Product variant information such as color, size, and weight
  • Whether the variant is visible for sale on the merchant site

API resources

The Inventory API returns InventoryItem resource objects. An InventoryItem is always a variant of a physical product or service product on a Squarespace merchant site, and provides stock information about an item.

For example, if a bakery on Squarespace sells Pies as a product, then "Key Lime" may be a product variant. The "Key Lime" variant's stock information would be available in an InventoryItem.

The resource also provides information like:

  • The stock keeping unit (SKU) code set by a merchant
  • The availability of the item, i.e. whether its unlimited or has a large enough quantity
  • A human-readable descriptor for identifying an item by its attributes

Resource fields are described under Response example for each Inventory API endpoint.
