VariationOffers Response Group

The VariationOffers response group retrieves the offers for the children of a parent ASIN. VariationOffers is similar to the Variations response group; however, item attributes are not returned for the individual variations. Variations is the parent response group of VariationOffers.

The only valid values for MerchantId are Amazon and All, which is the default value. For reasons of reverse compatibility, the Offers response group treats a MerchantID value of Featured or Featured Buy Box Winner as the default value (All).

The following table shows the expected behavior of the parent and child variation offers for the corresponding MerchantId input parameter:

Merchant ID	Semantics
(Default)	All variations with offers
Amazon	Variations with Amazon offers only
Featured, Featured Buy Box Winner, or All	All variations with offers. The specified MerchantId parameter will not have any effect on the response.
Any other value	Error: invalid value
