Throughput, burst, and concurrency caps are defined per partner; consult the Staples Sales Engineer onboarding the integration for the binding numbers.
Policies
PunchOut Session Semantics
cXML / OCI PunchOut traffic is session-based - the punch-out request opens a session, the cart is returned via PunchOutOrderMessage, and the bulk of throughput is request-pair, not high-RPS REST. Rate-limit posture differs from REST order-management traffic.
EDI Batch Cadence
EDI flows are batched (typically 850/855/856/810 documents) and not subject to second-level rate limits in the same way as REST APIs. Cadence is agreed during onboarding.
Backoff
Generic exponential backoff with jitter is recommended absent vendor-published Retry-After semantics; consult partner documentation for the exact response contract.
