Key suppliers by API: stock, your prices and orders

Let your own system read a key supplier’s stock with your prices and place orders - the order sheet without the spreadsheet.

Steps

  1. On a key supplier’s Stock page click ⚙ API (next to Upload order sheet).
  2. Create a key there (it is shown once - copy it): it reads stock and your prices, and may also place orders.
  3. Your system calls GET …/key-suppliers/{supplier}/items - with updated_since it gets only what changed - and POST …/orders with the lines (sku, qty), the delivery location and your PO reference.
  4. Follow the orders with GET …/orders: status, dispatched and received quantities.

Good to know

  • The prices are yours: the price agreed with you, else retail (price_basis) - never another dealer’s.
  • A PO reference already used is refused, so a retry never orders twice.
  • API keys need a package with API access; they are also listed in API Center → API keys.
