Capabilities

Tools 6

check_price_and_stock

Price and stock for a list of items, the subtotal, and whether the order can be bought online now (published prices, within the payment limits) or needs a quote.

Discovered
get_product

Full details for one product: description, specifications and dimensions, options with SKU, price and stock, image and page link.

Discovered
get_shipping_estimate

Live FedEx shipping options and prices for the items to a destination, the same rates checkout charges. Needs only the country, postal code and, in the US and Canada, the state.

Discovered
request_quote

Ask Arctic White for a quote (any items, including those priced on request, large orders, POs or net terms). We email the buyer a link to confirm the request; once confirmed, our team replies with pricing.

Discovered
search_products

Search Arctic White's catalog of lab consumables (microplates, deep well plates, reservoirs, sealing mats and films, tubes, filter plates, lab equipment) by catalog number, a competitor's part number, name, well count or type. Returns SKUs, published prices (or 'pricing on request'), stock and product links.

Discovered
start_checkout

Create a secure Stripe checkout link on arcticsci.com for items with published prices. The buyer opens the link to review the order, see sales tax and pay; nothing is charged until they do. Use the shipping option id from get_shipping_estimate, or leave it out for the lowest rate. Items priced on request, custom made (quote_only) products, or orders over the payment limits need request_quote instead.
