Scoped credentials
Every credential belongs to one organisation, and one customer's data can never appear in another's.
Developers and integrators
SalesLife API: connect your systems to the retail platform
SalesLife exposes the same interfaces its own components use. Your teams and partners can integrate through documented APIs and signed webhooks, with scoped credentials and a full log of every call.
The integration surface
| Interface | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Branch sync | Branches push sales, refunds, end-of-day batches and stock movements, and pull products, prices, customers and users. |
| ERP connector | Master data and documents between SalesLife Central and the ERP, with paging and changed-since filters, and optimistic concurrency on updates. |
| Commerce APIs | The headless commerce engine behind web, app, kiosk and partner front ends: catalogue, prices, stock, orders and customers. |
| Signed webhooks | Critical alerts posted to your own system as JSON, signed with an HMAC so you can verify the sender. |
| Provisioning | A control interface that creates a hosted organisation for a new customer. |
Designed for safe integration
Idempotent writes
A retried push is recognised and ignored, so a network failure never creates a duplicate.
Predictable conventions
Lists are paged with a total count, changes can be fetched since a timestamp, and updates carry a concurrency stamp.
Rate limits
Limits per credential protect the platform, with health and heartbeat calls left unmetered.
A log of every call
Each call is recorded with redacted bodies, searchable by system, outcome, branch and date.
Secrets handled safely
Credentials are shown once and stored only as hashes.
What teams build with it
- A web store or marketplace that reads stock and prices and sends orders
- A delivery or fulfilment app that works from the branch order queue
- A business-intelligence feed of sales and stock
- Alerts routed into a monitoring or service-desk tool
- An ERP connector for a system we do not yet support
