Request fields

Input container/fieldTypeDescription
locationAdditionalInformationstring

This text field is used by the merchant to provide/update additional information about an inventory location. Whatever text is passed in this field will replace the current text string defined for this field. If the text will not change, the same text should be passed in once again.

Max length: 256

Occurrence: Conditional

locationInstructionsstring

This text field is generally used by the merchant to provide/update special pickup instructions for a store inventory location. Although this field is optional, it is recommended that merchants provide this field to create a pleasant and easy pickup experience for In-Store Pickup and Click and Collect orders. If this field is not included in the call request payload, eBay will use the default pickup instructions contained in the merchant's profile (if available). Whatever text is passed in this field will replace the current text string defined for this field. If the text will not change, the same text should be passed in once again.

Max length: 1000

Occurrence: Conditional

locationWebUrlstring

This text field is used by the merchant to provide/update the Website address (URL) associated with the inventory location. The URL that is passed in this field will replace any other URL that may be defined for this field.

Max length: 512

Occurrence: Conditional

namestring

This text field is used by the merchant to update the name of the inventory location. This name should be a human-friendly name as it will be in In-Store Pickup and Click and Collect listings. A name is not required for warehouse inventory locations. For store inventory locations, this field is not immediately required, but will be required before an offer enabled with the In-Store Pickup or Click and Collect capability can be published. So, if the seller omitted this field in the createInventoryLocation call, it is required for an updateInventoryLocation call. The name that is passed in this field will replace any other name that may be defined for this field.

Occurrence: Conditional

operatingHoursarray of OperatingHours

This container is used to provide/update the regular operating hours for a store location during the days of the week. A dayOfWeekEnum field and an intervals container will be needed for each day of the week that the store location is open. Note that if operating hours are already set for an inventory location for a specific day of the week, whatever is set through an updateInventoryLocation call will override those existing hours.

Occurrence: Conditional

operatingHours.dayOfWeekEnumDayOfWeekEnum

A dayOfWeekEnum value is required for each day of the week that the store location has regular operating hours.

This field is returned if operating hours are defined for the store location.

Occurrence: Conditional

operatingHours.intervalsarray of Interval

This container is used to define the opening and closing times of a store's working day (defined in the dayOfWeekEnum field). An intervals container is needed for each day of the week that the store location is open. If a store location closes for lunch (or any other period during the day) and then reopens, multiple open and close pairs are needed

This container is returned if operating hours are defined for the store location.

Occurrence: Conditional

operatingHours.intervals.closestring

The close value is actually the time that the store closes. Local time (in Military format) is used. So, if a store closed at 8 PM local time, the close time would look like the following: 20:00:00. This field is conditionally required if the intervals container is used to specify working hours or special hours for a store.

This field is returned if set for the store location.

Occurrence: Conditional

operatingHours.intervals.openstring

The open value is actually the time that the store opens. Local time (in Military format) is used. So, if a store opens at 9 AM local time, the close time would look like the following: 09:00:00. This field is conditionally required if the intervals container is used to specify working hours or special hours for a store.

This field is returned if set for the store location.

Max length: 36

Occurrence: Conditional

specialHoursarray of SpecialHours

This container is used to provide/update the special operating hours for a store location on a specific date, such as a holiday. The special hours specified for the specific date will override the normal operating hours for that particular day of the week. If special hours have already been set up for an inventory location, specifying special hours through an updateInventoryLocation call will only add to the list, unless the date(s) used are the same special date(s) already set up, in which case, the special hours set up through the updateInventoryLocation call will override the existing special hours.

Occurrence: Conditional

Example: 2018-08-04T07:09:00.000Z

This field is returned if set for the store location.

Occurrence: Conditional

specialHours.intervalsarray of Interval
