Access to upsell information within cart rest API...

[WriterDanGaidin]

So, we're making an abysmally poor showing on upsells for one of our sites, and I was curious if there was currently a way to access the upsell information associated with a given product (product id) through the rest api. I couldn't find anything with a cursory search through the rest api documentation (some references to upsells, but mostly talking about how UC servers take over after the finalize action of the api cart).

Essentially, we'd like to try putting the upsells into the cart with single-click add functionality. Thus we'd need to be able to access the html blocks that make up the upsell (currently defined in the Ultracar back-end) and anything else necessary to add an upsell to the api cart.

Possibility?

Thanks.

Dan,
We have new fields on the CheckoutRequest object that allow you to do custom upsell pages (REST based) and still support PayPal. Are you currently using the UltraCart built in upsells or are you using custom upsell pages?

[WriterDanGaidin]

We're defining our upsell pages in the Ultracart backend at:

Home → Item Management → Upsell After

So, whichever that is. I'm guessing that's the built-in version, but I could be wrong.

I'll check out that object.

Dan, I'm reviewing all the issues (as you can probably tell). Where are you with this? Perhaps this is something we can talk through on the phone if you'd like. Give me a shout at the UltraCart support line and let's walk through this issue.

Thanks.

So, this is one of those projects that got put on the back burner for a while. Bigger fish to fry and all that, I guess. I'm sure you're familiar with the concept. :) Anyhow, when I'm able to get some time to put back into this project, I'll review the stuff you mentioned that's newly available and then drop you a line if I'm having any difficulties. Thanks for the offer.
