### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.inv_editions.htm&amp;language=en_US" target="_blank">View supported editions</a>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Two collections of APIs are available. Which API collection you use depends on your implementation details and your inventory use cases.

- Salesforce Commerce APIs—If you’re integrating with B2C Commerce, use these headless APIs to customize the inventory experience beyond the native integrations with B2C Commerce and Salesforce Order Management.
- Salesforce Connect REST APIs—If you’re integrating with a Salesforce Platform app, use these REST APIs for distributed order management functionality.

You can use your Salesforce credentials to access both API collections. If you’re using B2C Commerce, you can also use Account Manager with your B2C Commerce credentials to access the Omnichannel Inventory headless APIs.

This table lists endpoints that are used for specific use cases, regardless of your integration scenario.

 
| Endpoint | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Import Availability | The import API in the Salesforce Commerce API collection supports a much higher volume of records. Use this API whenever possible to import inventory data. |
| Import Location Graph | The API for importing a location graph is available only in the Connect REST API collection. Use this API to import a location graph and show group and location information in the Omnichannel Inventory app. |
