Place a negotiable quote order
This topic describes how REST calls can be used to place items in a shopping cart, initiate and complete the process of negotiating a quote, and reimbursing the buyer's credit upon receipt of payment.
Prerequisites
- You have installed and enabled B2B for Adobe Commerce.
- You have created a company.
- You have an integration or admin authorization token to make calls on behalf of seller, and a customer token to make calls on behalf of the company user.
Prepare the order
The steps in this section are similar to those in the Order processing tutorial, except that different products are added to the cart.
Create a shopping cart
In this example, the customer is a company user (buyer).
Endpoint:
POST /V1/carts/mine
Headers:
Copied to your clipboardContent-Type application/jsonAuthorization Bearer <customer token>
payload
Response
Copied to your clipboard// none
Copied to your clipboard// The response is the `quoteId`: `5`
Add items
This example adds 15 Pursuit Lumaflex Tone Bands and 10 Harmony Lumaflex Strength Band Kits to the cart. You must make two calls to add these products.
Endpoint:
POST <host>/rest/default/V1/carts/mine

Set the shipping address
You can determine shipping costs after initiating a negotiable quote, but doing it now provides a more detailed picture of the final costs to the buyer. If you want to defer setting the shipping address until after the negotiable quote has been created, use the /V1/negotiable-carts/:cartId/estimate-shipping-methods call.
Endpoint:
POST <host>/rest/default/V1/carts/mine/estimate-shipping-methods

Set shipping and billing information
You can also set shipping and billing information after initiating a negotiable quote by calling POST /V1/negotiable-carts/:cartId/shipping-information.
Endpoint:
POST /V1/carts/mine/shipping-information

Complete a negotiable quote
In this example, the buyer requests a negotiable quote. The seller applies a discount to the quote and returns the quote to the buyer. The buyer accepts the discount and completes the order.
All negotiable quote calls require an admin authorization token.
Initiate a negotiable quote
In this example, the buyer initiates a negotiable quote, asking for a 2.5% discount.
Initiating a negotiable quote places it in the processing_by_admin state.
Endpoint:
POST <host>/rest/default/V1/negotiableQuote/request
Headers:
Copied to your clipboardContent-Type application/jsonAuthorization Bearer <admin token>
Payload
Response
Copied to your clipboard{"quoteId": 5,"quoteName": "Discount request","comment": "Requesting a 2.5% discount"}
Copied to your clipboard// `true`, indicating the request was successful
Adjust the negotiable quote
The seller accepts the buyer's request for a 2.5% discount. The negotiated_price_type value of 1 indicates a percentage discount.
Headers:
Copied to your clipboardContent-Type application/jsonAuthorization Bearer <admin token>
Endpoint:
PUT /V1/negotiableQuote/5
Payload
Response
Copied to your clipboard{"quote": {"id": 5,"extension_attributes": {"negotiable_quote": {"negotiated_price_type": 1,"negotiated_price_value": 2.5}}}}
Copied to your clipboard// an empty array
Return the negotiable quote to the buyer
Now that the seller has updated the quote, it must be returned to the buyer. The buyer will then be able to either accept the offer and begin the checkout process, or request further negotiations.
This call places the quote in the submitted_by_admin state.
Headers:
Copied to your clipboardContent-Type application/jsonAuthorization Bearer <admin token>

Set the payment information and place the order
The buyer is now ready to complete the purchase. Since the buyer has already specified the billing address, only the paymentMethod information must be included.
The /V1/negotiable-carts/:cartId/payment-information endpoint runs asynchronously if the AsyncOrder module has been enabled. By default, the mutation runs synchronously. Asynchronous order placement describes the benefits of enabling the module.

Payload
Response
Copied to your clipboard{ "paymentMethod": {"po_number": "12345","method": "companycredit"}}
Copied to your clipboard// The response is the order `id`: `4`
Reimburse company credit
Now that the negotiable quote has been converted into an order, you can issue an invoice and create a shipment in the same manner as a standard B2C order. However, when the company pays for the order, the company's outstanding balance must be credited.
In this example, the companyId is 1.

Copied to your clipboard// `true`, indicating the reimbursement was successfully applied. Commerce sends an email to the buyer.
