# Global Partners Integration Getting Started

Use this guide to set up access and run your first partner workflows.

This integration supports hardware ordering, inventory lookup, shipment tracking, and outbound shipment notifications.

<details>

<summary>Before you begin</summary>

Make sure you have these items from your Verifone onboarding team:

* Your Verifone customer account number, also called `customerEntityUid`
* Production API URL and authentication details
* Any partner credentials needed for outbound callbacks from Verifone

{% hint style="info" %}
Use the same onboarding contact for production connectivity details and account mapping questions.
{% endhint %}

* [Get Inventory details](/global-partners/global-partners-api-integration/global-partners-integration/get-inventory-details.md) to check stock by customer, operating unit, and device type
* [Create Orders](/global-partners/global-partners-api-integration/global-partners-integration/create-orders.md) to submit new hardware orders
* [Order Status](/global-partners/global-partners-api-integration/global-partners-integration/order-status.md) to track order progress
* [Get Serials](/global-partners/global-partners-api-integration/global-partners-integration/get-serials.md) to retrieve shipped device serials for an order or date range
* [Send Device Shipped Notification](/global-partners/global-partners-api-integration/global-partners-integration/send-device-shipped-notification.md) to receive shipment events from Verifone

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sandbox-docs.verifone.com/global-partners/global-partners-integration-getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
