option - usually STANDARD - will be automatically chosen.

Submit the following as an Atom XML entry, as in the Sample Input.
item entry
An item to be ordered. Note: each unique combination is considered its own item and must have an entry defined. For example, 100 4x6 prints of the same image would be a single item, qty 100. In contrast, if each 4x6 was a different image, this is considered 100 different item entries. This same concept holds for any other variation - for example, print finish (Matte/Glossy), price, sku, etc.
category
<category-term="item" scheme="http://openfly.shutterfly.com/ecom/v1.0"/>
sflyecom:productdetail
This field contains xml which describes attributes unique for this sku. For instance, a 4x6 sku would require a product detail that
included print finish (Matte/Glossy), while a mug sku would not require such an attribute (there is no finish concept for mugs).
