Abstract and Recommended Audience

This document describes the technologies for integration of suppliers and distributors in the Promotional Products Industry. It discusses the technology required to build the interface and provides sample code for using the interface. The reader should be fluent in web-based technologies and familiar with the language they plan to consume the web service in.

Background Information

All specifications use the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) over HTTPS for a standards-based secure form of communication. More information on SOAP can be found at w3.org (opens in a new tab).
