How to use offers

Learn how to provide offers.

Offers are promotions or discounts that can be applied to products or services within your Digital River store. They can boost sales, engage customers, and drive traffic to your platform. In this section, you will learn how to manage and retrieve offers using the Digital River API, including creating, updating, and fetching offer details by their unique identifiers.

Getting an offer by identifier

When you need to retrieve specific details of an offer, you can obtain it using its unique identifier. This section explains how to send a request to get an offer by its ID, detailing the necessary API endpoint, request method, and required headers for authentication.

To get an offer by its identifier, send a GET /shoppers/me/offers/{offerId} request. Replace {offerId} with the actual offer ID you want to retrieve. Include a valid API key in the authorization header.

Example:

curl --location --request GET 
'https://api.digitalriver.com/shoppers/me/offers/{offerId}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {API_key}'

{
  "offer": {
    "uri": "https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/offers/154344709",
    "id": 154344709,

    "trigger": "Always Triggered",
    "salesPitch": [
      "[\"Header Message\",\"Footer Message\",\"Sales Pitch Extra Info\",\"Sales Pitch Extra Info 2\"]"
    ],
    "productOffers": {
      "uri": "https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/offers/154344709/product-offers",
      "productOffer": [
        {
          "uri": "https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/offers/154344709/product-offers/64358400",
          "id": 64358400,
          "product": {
            "uri": "https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/products/64358400",
            "displayName": "Class III",
            "thumbnailImage": "https://drh1.img.digitalriver.com/DRHM/Storefront/Company/demosft1/images/product/thumbnail/classIIIThumb_v2.jpg"
          },
          "pricing": {
            "listPrice": {
              "currency": "USD",
              "value": "19.99"
            },
            "salePriceWithQuantity": {
              "currency": "USD",
              "value": "19.99"
            },
            "formattedListPrice": "$39.99",
            "formattedSalePriceWithQuantity": "$38.99",
            "listPriceIncludesTax": "false"
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    "categoryOffers": {},
    "offerBundleGroups": {}
  }
}

A successful 200 OK response returns the offer details in JSON format, including its status, discount amount, and terms.
