Key Terminology
Understanding the key terms used throughout the API ecosystem will help you navigate and utilize the API more effectively:

|---|---|
| productConfigurationId | The unique identifier associated with a product configuration for which orders can be placed through the API. This ID contains all technical specifications and setup details for a specific product type. |
| SKU ID | A supported identifier that links to a specific combination of attributes within a product. Using a SKU ID allows you to place orders without specifying individual attributes in your payload. |
| Attributes | The customizable properties of a product (such as paper type, binding method, or cover finish) that determine the final specifications of your order. |
| Payload | The JSON data structure containing all necessary information to create an order through the API, including product details, quantities, and specifications. |
| Priority Set | The combination of production time and delivery option that determines how quickly your order will be processed and shipped. |
| File URLs | Web-accessible links to your artwork or design files that will be used in the production of your ordered items. |
| Merchant Order ID | Your internal reference number for tracking the order within your own system, separate from the order identification. |
| Quantity | The number of items you wish to order for each product configuration or SKU. |
