Data validation

Understand the Data Validation service.

The Data Validation service process is a request/response-based process. The Data Validation Service provides a mechanism that allows you to attach data points on a page in a Digital River store. It also validates each data point on that page against an external endpoint provided by a third-party client.

Data validation details

A successful Data Validation request results in a response that contains a non-null, non-empty element. An unsuccessful Data Validation request results in an invalid response code (responseCode).

Note

A third-party client must define the responseCode.
