Last update 13/03/2025

Important Announcement: This publication flow will be deprecated on April 30th and will be replaced by the new Global Listing flow.

We are excited to announce that a new API for creating Global Selling items items is now available. This new functionality allows you to create both global and local items in a single step, simplifying the publication process significantly.

If you are starting a new development, you must use the new API to ensure a smooth integration.

For those who have not yet updated their development, we strongly recommend adjusting their projects to the new publishing flow before April 30th, as the previous flow will be deprecated after that date.

Take advantage of this improvement and optimize your experience with Global Selling!
