Obtain API credentials for the Deliverect Retail API from your Deliverect account; confirm the endpoint base URL for the Retail product tier (distinct from the restaurant product)
Identify the availability update endpoint in the Deliverect Retail API reference; construct a payload listing the items whose availability has changed, including the Deliverect channel-mapped item ID and the new availability status (in stock / out of stock)
Trigger availability update calls from your warehouse management system or inventory event stream whenever stock for a SKU drops to zero or is replenished above a defined threshold
Batch multiple availability changes into a single API call where the API supports it to reduce call volume during high-activity periods (e.g., end-of-day inventory counts)
Verify that the availability update has propagated to each connected delivery channel by spot-checking item status in the relevant channel's merchant portal or via the channel's own product availability API
Implement alerting for failed availability update calls; a failure means customers can continue to order out-of-stock items until the update succeeds — treat these as high-priority errors
Known gotchas
Deliverect propagates availability changes to delivery platforms asynchronously; there is a delay between posting an update to Deliverect and the item becoming unavailable on the customer-facing channel — time-critical stockouts should also be addressed directly in each channel's merchant portal if the delay is unacceptable
Item availability in Deliverect Retail is managed per channel and per location; an availability update must reference the correct location ID and channel to take effect — a correctly structured payload sent to the wrong location will silently not affect the intended channel
Frequent high-frequency availability polling or update calls may hit rate limits; design your integration to batch updates and use event-driven triggers from your inventory system rather than scheduled polling
