Need for this feature

Why is this feature needed? When different suppliers are offering the same service at different costs. First we would like to connect to the supplier offering at a cheaper price. If it is rejected from the supplier, currently the order is rejected in our site also, leading to a loss of a potential order. We need a feature, wherein we can try out the other alternate supplier services too, before losing the order. This has to be done automatically.

How it works

When connecting the imei service to the API, choose the api and api service to be connected to as usual. In addition, can set the alternate apis and services, to be connected. When order is rejected from an API, automatically, the order will be posted to the next api according to the priority set. This will continue auto, until no more apis to be connected to or the order gets completed. When the apis are switched for the order, log is maintained and shown in the order listing page.

Pros

We don't lose a potential order.

First try with the supplier API offering at lower prices, and if it is completed, there is a monetary profit.

All these happens auto.
