Global Product Identifiers

The brand owner and partners uniquely identify products using the Global Product Identifier field defined in the Product Administration screen of Siebel Business Applications (or the equivalent field of other applications that your partners use).

To receive shopping carts, the partners must have the same products as the brand owner in their product databases and they must use the Global Product Identifier. If a partner that is receiving a shopping cart transfer does not have a product with a matching Global Product Identifier, the transfer fails.

Before using shopping cart transfer, make sure the brand owner and partners have defined the relevant products in their respective applications. This is generally done as an offline batch process.
