Below is an example subset of key API areas: A comprehensive set of APIs are available once you gain access to the marketplace. ### Pre-Transaction APIs: Item Creation and Inventory Updates: - Product & Offer Importing: Image, Description, Size, Price, Inventory, etc - Populate the product template file we provide with your product data, then: - Upload this product file in your Mirakl Back Office (store admin area) OR - Import your product file: - API Reference: [OF01 - Import a File to Add Products & Offers](docId\:pas3tso0W7KLYi3DdHEei) - Maintain your offers (inventory, pricing, etc): - API Reference: [OF01 - Import a File to Add Products & Offers](docId\:pas3tso0W7KLYi3DdHEei) - API Reference: [OF24 - Update or Delete Existing Offers](docId\:B6RskP0rLWqrlGobjchkz) ### Post-Transaction APIs: Order Management and Processing:  - API Reference: **OR11:** Retrieve Order (and refunds if applicable) - API Reference:** OR21:** Accept/Reject Order - API Reference: **OR73: **Retrieve Packing Slip - API Reference: **OR23:** Add Tracking Info - API Reference: **OR24: **Confirm Shipment - API Reference: **OR29: **Cancel Order ## Step 4: Saks to Validate Store When your store passes your testing, Saks will validate your store as well. ## Step 5: Saks to Create Store in Production To begin migrating your store to production, Saks will create a new, empty store in our production environment. ## Step 6: Seller to Promote to Production Environment Your production store now needs to be populated with your products and offers, just like you did with your sandbox store.  You will generate a production-specific API key and repeat the integration in our production environment.
