An API is software that allows two or more applications to connect. Simply put, it is a messenger that sends your request to the provider and then sends the answer-back. This is an interface that allows one application to communicate with another using simple commands.
When developers create code, they usually don’t start from scratch. APIs allow them to write code and software using existing frameworks so they can focus on the unique offerings of their applications rather than having to reinvent the wheel every time they write a new program. In general, APIs work a bit like power outlets, which are the standard way to access devices and use existing infrastructure.
API integration allows developers to integrate various functions of their system directly into the online store. This helps streamline the process of order fulfilment, shipping, and delivery.
There is hundreds of eCommerce developer APIs to explore. Some of them are available for adding orders, shipping, tracking, receiving products, viewing, buying and selling, and even creating marketing segments and many other tasks.
With the payment API, you can create an application for the checkout process that accepts payment through a credit card or debit card. The Payment API can be programmed according to your existing payment gateway.
With this API you can automate the delivery process. This allows you to contact logistics providers and track product sales details about packages delivered to customers. It can also automate the process of creating invoices and packaging labels.
The Shipping API lets you choose from multiple carriers based on delivery time, price, and location. Delivery tracking is also possible with this type of API. It allows you to integrate order tracking information into a mobile app or website or via email or SMS.
Your company most likely uses various tools to keep your business running smoothly. However, it may become difficult to manage so many separate apps. Especially when they’re used by several teams. That’s where CRM integration comes in.
Essentially, CRM integration is the act of connecting CRM software to a third-party application. With CRM integration, you can connect each application that your business uses with your CRM platform.
Using a CRM API, allows your employees to view information related to the sales process, marketing, and even billing within the CRM, without having to open multiple programs.
