Capabilities

Tools 9

check_delivery

Check whether florist delivery is available to a US ZIP code on one specific date. Availability is per ZIP and date, not per arrangement. Same-day delivery requires ordering before 1:00 PM in the recipient's local time zone, Monday through Saturday. When a date is unavailable, the result includes a reason (Sunday, past date or past the same-day cutoff) when one is known.

Discovered
create_prefilled_checkout

Save delivery details for one arrangement on theflowersdirectory.com for 24 hours and return a checkout link that opens with the arrangement in the cart and those details filled in, plus the price breakdown (exact total when a ZIP is given). Takes the recipient's name, venue, room or unit, card message and special instructions, with the ZIP and delivery date. It does not place an order or take payment: the customer adds the street address and phone numbers, checks the details, pays and places the order on the site.

Discovered
find_local_florists

List florists located in a US city from The Flowers Directory's city pages, with addresses, phone numbers when listed, and the date each listing was last verified. These are directory listings: an order placed through The Flowers Directory is made and delivered by a florist in the Florist One network, which may or may not be one of the listed shops.

Discovered
get_arrangement_details

Return full details for one arrangement by product code: all photos, size (height x width when the florist network publishes it), full description, flowers and colors, occasions it suits, price and total before tax, the substitution policy, and delivery terms. Use it to show a customer exactly what they are buying.

Discovered
get_checkout_link

Return the purchase link for an arrangement plus a price breakdown. With a recipient ZIP the breakdown includes the exact delivery fee, tax and order total; with a ZIP and date it also confirms delivery availability. Opening the link adds the arrangement to the cart and opens the cart panel; the customer clicks Checkout and enters the recipient address, delivery date, card message and payment there.

Discovered
get_delivery_location_guidance

Return practical guidance for sending flowers to a specific kind of place: funeral_home, place_of_worship, hospital, residence, business, senior_living. Covers which arrangement types are appropriate and which to avoid, venue rules (such as hospital units that do not allow flowers), what details the florist needs, which checkout field each detail goes in, timing, and suggested search filters. With a city and state or ZIP, also lists funeral homes (for funeral_home) or hospitals (for hospital) in that city from the directory, with addresses.

Discovered
get_order_status

Look up an existing order placed on The Flowers Directory, using the order number from the confirmation email and the email address used at checkout. Returns the items, scheduled delivery date, delivery city and whether that date is upcoming, today or past. It does not provide live courier tracking; for delivery confirmation, changes or cancellations it returns the order-help phone and text numbers.

Discovered
next_available_delivery

List up to 14 upcoming delivery dates available to a US ZIP code, with the earliest date, whether same-day delivery is still possible right now in the recipient's local time (1:00 PM cutoff), and how long is left before the cutoff.

Discovered
search_arrangements

Search The Flowers Directory catalog of fresh flower arrangements and plants for US florist delivery, by occasion (birthday, sympathy/funeral, get well, anniversary, romance, new baby, thank you and more), color, flower type, arrangement type (vase, basket, standing spray, wreath, casket spray and more), size, budget and free text. Every result includes the product code used by the other tools, the arrangement price, a photo URL, total_before_tax (price plus the flat $19.99 delivery fee) and, when known, structured attributes: arrangement type, size tier, height and width in inches, stem count, container and who it suits (sender_fit). Returns up to 20 matches, best match first.
