Use MakeAJAXCall to initiate client-side calls to the CyberStore web service operations. Include in the functionName parameter the name of the Services class in the format of "ServiceClass.MethodName" (e.g. "Price.GetDefaultPrice").

The following are available ServiceClass values:

Application
Cart
Fulfillment
Inventory
Order
Price
Utility
Visitor

Sending a value without a ServiceClass portion of the of a functionName will post the call to the /ecommerce/util/GetData service by default.
