# Functional scope

In this context, an "*offer*" means product content exclusively related to stock and price. It is not to be mistaken for an *actual Marketplace offer*, meaning a live article on the Markeplace site.

The collection of endoints can facilitate the below objectives:

- create a `warehouse` as an additional stock location point for any SKU
- update item `quantities` and `warehouse.stock`
- retrieve marketplace fullfilment stock information per SKU
- send `prices` in multiple `currencies`
- consult `price` or `stock` information as displayed in Neteven

# Marketplace offers

The Neteven platform is the intermediary between  your system and multiple Marketplaces you are connected to. Through it, stock and price updates flow directly to Marketplaces on products published via Neteven.

The Merchant API offers a simple method to update stock and price information to Neteven, before it is passed on to Marketplaces.

:::hint{type="success"}
Sending stock and price information to Neteven does not automatically publish the corresponding products on Marketplaces. First, a certain amount of configuration must be done in the Neteven user interface to connect Neteven to said Marketplaces and to select the product range to publish.
