Yahoo! Shopping API Instruction

Why we use the API and What is the API?

If you want to process your sales order remotely via Smartship, you will be required to link your sales site with Smartship through API integration. Once you link your accounts, Smartship can pull the sales orders, confirm order and update tracking information accordingly.
Whenever Smartship calls the API of the Sales site, it is required to get the authorization for access. And the sales site will generate the ‘API Key’ to each account and it works as the credentials. Thus Smartship will ask your ‘API Key’ instead of Login credentials.
This documents will explain how to set API integration with Yahoo! Shopping and how it works.
Requirements
Smartship requires below information to access your Yahoo! Shopping orders.
Shop ID : Yahoo! Shopping seller ID
Store Account ID : Issued by Yahoo! Shopping (see guide below)

If you're registering and mapping a large number of products, it's helpful to include your "SKU Seller Management Code" when uploading to Excel.
