Pre-Requisite
Dispatch needs to be enabled and configured for the channel to use the endpoint.
Mandatory Delivery Information
In order to ascertain the most accurate delivery information a full delivery address including coordinates and postal code must be sent.
Check availability for multiple stores (currently in beta)
An array of
channelLinkIdscan be provided to determine the best possible pickup location for a specific delivery, based on price and distance.Please check the second example on the right hand side named "Validate Delivery - multiple pickupLocations".
"channelLinkIds": ["61bcc34f657cc48c23eb60d5","61bcc34f657cc48c23eb602a]When providing the array
"channelLinkIds", the"channelLinkId"field will be disregarded.The
"channelLinkId"selected will be included on the response to the call for multiple locations.
This endpoint allows the aggregator to validate if a Dispatch partner is available to carry out the delivery before submitting the actual order. This is dependant on the Deliverect customer having one or more of our integrated Dispatch Partners connected.

}
If the validation is successful and the available flag is set "true" , the validationId returned in the response is valid for 10 minutes. This validationId can be used by the ChannelIntegrations to send the orders using the existing Create Order API , which is now extended with the optional parameter to support the validationID.
NOTE
If separate deliveryLocations are sent during the order creation with validationID it will be ignored and the deliveryLocations used in the dispatchAvailability request will be used.
