Place a negotiable quote order
This topic describes how REST calls can be used to place items in a shopping cart, initiate and complete the process of negotiating a quote, and reimbursing the buyer’s credit upon receipt of payment.
Prerequisites
- You have installed and enabled B2B for Adobe Commerce.
- You have created a company and a company user.
- You have an integration or admin authorization token to make calls on behalf of seller, and a customer token to make calls on behalf of the company user.
Prepare the order
The steps in this section are similar to those in the Order processing tutorial, except that different products are added to the cart.
Create a shopping cart
In this example, the customer is a company user (buyer).
Endpoint:
POST /V1/carts/mine
Headers:
1
2
Content-Type application/json
Authorization Bearer <customer token>
Payload:
None
Response:
The response is the quoteId: 5
Add items
This example adds 15 Pursuit Lumaflex Tone Bands and 10 Harmony Lumaflex Strength Band Kits to the cart. You must make two calls to add these products.
Endpoint:
POST <host>/rest/default/V1/carts/mine
Headers:

Set the shipping address
You can determine shipping costs after initiating a negotiable quote, but doing it now provides a more detailed picture of the final costs to the buyer. If you want to defer setting the shipping address until after the negotiable quote has been created, use the /V1/negotiable-carts/:cartId/estimate-shipping-methods call.

Reimburse company credit
Now that the negotiable quote has been converted into an order, you can issue an invoice and create a shipment in the same manner as a standard B2C order. However, when the company pays for the order, the company’s outstanding balance must be credited.
In this example, the companyId is 1.
