Seller Metadata
The sellerMetadata object can contain arbitrary key-value pairs. The following properties have special meaning for establishing parent/child item relationships on MAJOR orders:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| itemId | string? | A seller-side identifier for this item. Other items can reference this value via parentItemId to create a parent/child hierarchy. |
| parentItemId | string? | References another item's sellerMetadata.itemId within the same acknowledgement, indicating that this item is a child of that parent item. |
When both itemId and parentItemId are provided across acknowledgement items, the system will automatically set the parentItemId on the corresponding order items after they are created. Self-references (where itemId equals parentItemId) are ignored.
Order Seller Metadata
The top-level sellerMetadata object can contain arbitrary key-value pairs for seller-side order tracking. Accepted on every order type.

| orderId | ID | The associated order ID |
| sellerMetadata | object? | The order-level seller metadata that was persisted on the acknowledgement |
