In this article let's go through the Checkout SOAP dashboard together and have a better understanding of what insights you can get out of it. 

 

To open the dashboard, follow the steps below.  

This dashboard focuses on 4 of the key SOAP API methods that are available for integration with your checkout: orderRequest, shippingOptionRequest, updateOrderRequest, and commitOrder Request.

• An orderRequest reflects the initiation of a Paazl delivery session in the checkout. It submits (a.o.) the content/characteristics of the shopping basket to Paazl.
• A shippingOptionRequest is submitted to Paazl, with location details such as postal code and country. The response from Paazl includes the available delivery options, pickup locations, delivery dates, timeframes, etc.
• An updateOrderRequest is used to submit a shopping basket update to Paazl (normally followed by a new shippingOptionRequest)
• • A commitOrderRequest submits the final delivery order to Paazl.

This dashboard will give you insights into the volumes of these requests over the last 5 months + current MTD, and how these numbers compare against each other.
