Common API data types

Common API Types used within multiple API resources.

References

Reference

A Reference represents a loose reference to another resource in the same Project identified by its id. The typeId indicates the type of the referenced resource. Each resource type has its corresponding Reference type, like ChannelReference. A referenced resource can be embedded through Reference Expansion. The expanded reference is the value of an additional obj field then.

`id` String	Unique ID of the referenced resource.
`typeId` ReferenceTypeId	Type of referenced resource.

Example: json

{
  "typeId": "product",
  "id": "d1229e6f-2b79-441e-b419-180311e52754"
}

KeyReference

A KeyReference represents a loose reference to another resource in the same Project identified by the resource's key field. If available, the key is immutable and mandatory. KeyReferences do not support Reference Expansion.

`key` String	User-defined unique and immutable key of the referenced resource. MinLength: `2`MaxLength: `256`Pattern: `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$`
`typeId` ReferenceTypeId	Type of referenced resource.

ResourceIdentifier

Draft type to create a Reference or a KeyReference to a resource. Provide either the id or (wherever supported) the key of the resource to reference, but depending on the API endpoint the response returns either a Reference or a KeyReference. For example, the field parent of a CategoryDraft takes a ResourceIdentifier for its value while the value of the corresponding field of a Category is a Reference.

Each resource type has its corresponding ResourceIdentifier, like ChannelResourceIdentifier.

`id` String	Unique identifier of the referenced resource. Required if `key` is absent.
`key` String	User-defined unique identifier of the referenced resource. Required if `id` is absent.
`typeId` ReferenceTypeId	Type of referenced resource. If given, it must match the expected ReferenceTypeId of the referenced resource.

Prices

This section contains representations for prices that are embedded into ProductVariants and Line Items, as well as common data types for Embedded Prices and Standalone Prices. The representations specific to Standalone Prices are documented on their dedicated page.

Price

This type is equivalent to ProductPrice in the GraphQL API.

The representation for prices embedded in LineItems and in ProductVariants when the ProductPriceMode is Embedded. For the Standalone ProductPriceMode refer to StandalonePrice.

`id` String	Unique identifier of this Price.
`key` String	User-defined identifier of the Price. It is unique per ProductVariant. MinLength: `2`MaxLength: `256`Pattern: `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$`
`value` TypedMoney	Money value of this Price.
`country` CountryCode	Country for which this Price is valid. Pattern: `^[A-Z]{2}$`
`customerGroup` CustomerGroupReference	CustomerGroup for which this Price is valid.
`channel` ChannelReference	`ProductDistribution` Channel for which this Price is valid.
`validFrom` DateTime	Date and time from which this Price is valid.
`validUntil` DateTime	Date and time until this Price is valid. Prices that are no longer valid are not automatically removed, but they can be removed if necessary.
`discounted` DiscountedPrice	Is set if a ProductDiscount has been applied. If set, the API uses the DiscountedPrice value for the Line Item price selection. When a relative discount has been applied and the fraction part of the DiscountedPrice `value` is 0.5, the `value` is rounded in favor of the customer with half-down rounding.
`tiers` Array of PriceTier	Present if different Prices for certain LineItem quantities have been specified. If `discounted` is present, the tiered Price is ignored for a Product Variant.
`custom` CustomFields	Custom Fields defined for the Price.

PriceDraft

This type is equivalent to ProductPriceDataInput in the GraphQL API.

The draft representation for prices to be embedded into ProductVariantDrafts when the ProductPriceMode is Embedded. For the Standalone ProductPriceMode use StandalonePriceDraft.

`key` String	User-defined identifier for the Price. It must be unique per ProductVariant. MinLength: `2`MaxLength: `256`Pattern: `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$`
`value` Money	Money value of this Price. To set the money value in high precision, use HighPrecisionMoneyDraft.
`country` CountryCode	Set this field if this Price is only valid for the specified country. Pattern: `^[A-Z]{2}$`
`customerGroup` CustomerGroupResourceIdentifier	Set this field if this Price is only valid for the referenced CustomerGroup.
`channel` ChannelResourceIdentifier	Set this field if this Price is only valid for the referenced `ProductDistribution` Channel.
`validFrom` DateTime	Set this field if this Price is only valid from the specified date and time. Must be at least 1 ms earlier than `validUntil`.
`validUntil` DateTime	Set this field if this Price is only valid until the specified date and time. Must be at least 1 ms later than `validFrom`. Prices that are no longer valid are not automatically removed, but they can be removed if necessary.
`discounted` DiscountedPriceDraft	Set this field to add a DiscountedPrice from an external service. Otherwise, Composable Commerce sets this field automatically if at least one ProductDiscount applies. The DiscountedPrice must reference a ProductDiscount with: The `isActive` flag set to `true`. A ProductDiscountValue of type `external`. A `predicate` that matches the ProductVariant the Price is referenced from.
`tiers` Array of PriceTierDraft	Set this field to specify different Prices for certain LineItem quantities. If `discounted` is set, the tiered Price is ignored for a Product Variant.
`custom` CustomFieldsDraft	Custom Fields for the Price.

PriceTier

A Price tier is selected instead of the default Price when a certain quantity of the ProductVariant is added to a Cart and ordered. For example: the Price can be lower if more than 10 items are ordered. If no Price tier is found for the Order quantity, the base Price is used. A Price tier is applied for the entire quantity of a Product Variant put as LineItem in a Cart as soon as the minimum quantity for the Price tier is reached. The Price tier is applied per Line Item of the Product Variant. If, for example, the same Product Variant appears in the same Cart as several Line Items, (what can be achieved by different values of a Custom Field on the Line Items) for each Line Item the minimum quantity must be reached to get the Price tier.

`minimumQuantity` Int	Minimum quantity this Price tier is valid for. The minimum quantity is always greater than or equal to 2. The base Price is interpreted as valid for a minimum quantity equal to 1. A Price or StandalonePrice cannot contain more than one tier with the same `minimumQuantity`.
`value` TypedMoney	Money value that applies when the `minimumQuantity` is greater than or equal to the LineItem `quantity`. The `currencyCode` of a Price tier is always the same as the `currencyCode` in the `value` of the related Price.

PriceTierDraft

This type is equivalent to ProductPriceTierInput in the GraphQL API.

Specifies a Price tier that applies when the minimum quantity for the LineItem of a ProductVariant with the related Price is reached in a Cart.

`minimumQuantity` Int	Minimum quantity this Price tier is valid for. The minimum quantity is always greater than or equal to 2. The base Price is interpreted as valid for a minimum quantity equal to 1. A Price or StandalonePrice cannot contain more than one tier with the same `minimumQuantity`. In the case one of the constraint is not met an InvalidField is returned.
`value` Money	Money value that applies when the `minimumQuantity` is greater than or equal to the LineItem `quantity`. To set the money value in high precision, use HighPrecisionMoneyDraft. The `currencyCode` of a Price tier must be the same as the `currencyCode` in the `value` of the related Price.

DiscountedPrice

`value` TypedMoney	Money value of the discounted price.
`discount` ProductDiscountReference	ProductDiscount related to the discounted price.

DiscountedPriceDraft

This type is equivalent to DiscountedProductPriceValueInput in the GraphQL API.

`value` Money	Sets the money value for the discounted price. To set the money value in high precision, use HighPrecisionMoneyDraft.
`discount` ProductDiscountReference	Relates the referenced ProductDiscount to the discounted price.

  "fractionDigits": 7
}

For details on how to use fraction digits and some examples, refer to Usage.

TypedMoneyDraft

This type is equivalent to BaseMoneyInput in the GraphQL API.

Polymorphic base money type that can hold money in cent precision or high precision (in sub-cents).

To set money in cent precision, use Money.
To set money in high precision, use HighPrecisionMoneyDraft.

Money

This type is equivalent to MoneyInput or MoneyDraft in the GraphQL API.

Draft object to store money in cent amounts for a specific currency.

`centAmount` Int	Amount in the smallest indivisible unit of a currency, such as: Cents for EUR and USD, pence for GBP, or centime for CHF (5 CHF is specified as `500`). The value in the major unit for currencies without minor units, like JPY (5 JPY is specified as `5`).
`currencyCode` CurrencyCode	Currency code compliant to ISO 4217.

Example: json

{
  "currencyCode": "EUR",
  "centAmount": 4200
}

HighPrecisionMoneyDraft

This type is equivalent to HighPrecisionMoneyInput in the GraphQL API.

Draft object to store money as a fraction of the smallest indivisible unit for a specific currency.

`centAmount` Int	Amount in the smallest indivisible unit of a currency. This field is optional for high precision. If provided, it is checked for validity. Example: A Price of 1.015 USD can be rounded either to 1.01 USD or 1.02 USD. If it lies outside of this range, an error message stating that centAmount must be rounded correctly will be returned. If `centAmount` is not provided, the API calculates the value automatically using the default rounding mode half even.
`currencyCode` CurrencyCode	Currency code compliant to ISO 4217.
`type` MoneyType	`"highPrecision"` Use to set currency in high precision.
`fractionDigits` Int	Number of fraction digits for a specified high precision money. It must be greater than the default number of fraction digits for the specified currency. Maximum: `20`
`preciseAmount` Int	Amount in 1 / (10 ^ `fractionDigits`) of a currency.

Example: json

{
  "type": "highPrecision",
  "currencyCode": "EUR",
  "preciseAmount": 123456,
  "fractionDigits": 7
}

MoneyType

Determines the type of money used.

centPrecision: Use to set currency in cent precision.
highPrecision: Use to set currency in high precision.

Usage

For EUR and USD the smallest amount you use in financial transaction is the cent. In particular cases - usually when higher quantities of a certain item are bought - the unit price will be specified in sub-cents.

One example can be a gas station where gas prices are displayed as 1,197 EUR per liter. This can only be expressed by using HighPrecisionMoney, since it is impossible to represent it by using only the default fractionDigits for EUR, which is 2. As a result, with CentPrecisionMoney it is only possible to define the price as 1.19 EUR or 1.20 EUR. To represent the previously mentioned gas price using sub-cents, you need to use the HighPrecisionMoney type.

Most currencies like USD and EUR have 2 fraction digits (usually called cents). However, there are some exceptions, for example: JPY - Japanese Yen does not have fraction digits at all. For this type of currencies fractionDigits is set to 0. Some currencies like JOD - Jordanian Dinar have 3 fraction digits. With HighPrecisionMoney, fractionDigits must be greater than the default number for the desired currency. The API validates this when creating a price with a HighPrecisionMoneyDraft.

For example, you cannot create a HighPrecisionMoney type with fractionDigits of 2 for the currency EUR, since this is the default value for this currency. Instead, regular Money can be used in this case.

The following table shows how fractionDigits affect a preciseAmount:

preciseAmount	fractionDigits	Amount in currency
123456	3	123.456
123456	5	1.23456
123456	7	0.0123456

Both centAmount and preciseAmount are represented as 64-bit integers.

Please note that for HighPrecisionMoney, the more fractionDigits you use, the fewer integer digits are available, as both must fit into a 64-bit integer. For example, if you use the maximum allowable amount of 20 fractionDigits, the highest expressible amount is approximately 9 cents.

If a Money operation, such as arithmetic with unusually large amounts, results in either object exceeding the 64-bit limit, the API returns a 400 Bad Request with the MoneyOverflow error code.
