A quick note before getting started: API integrations are a technical feature intended for software developers or people with programming experience. If you are not familiar with APIs or software development, you will likely need assistance from a developer to build and maintain an integration.
It provides expanded access to many areas of SalesBinder, including:
- Customers, prospects, suppliers, and contacts
- Inventory items, variations, categories, locations, kits, and bundles
- Invoices, estimates, purchase orders, and sales orders
- Payments, refunds, packing, shipping, and stock transfers
- Inventory adjustments, receiving, fulfillment, and other workflow actions
API v3 can do much more than simply retrieve information. Developers can use it to create and update business documents, manage inventory, convert estimates, invoice sales orders, receive purchase orders, record payments, assemble kits, transfer stock between locations, and complete many other everyday tasks.
These actions follow the same permissions and business rules used throughout SalesBinder. The new API also includes several improvements that make integrations easier to build and troubleshoot, including:
- Consistent JSON responses
- Clearer error messages
- Request IDs for troubleshooting
- Rate-limit information
- Support for safely retrying many requests
API keys are connected to individual SalesBinder users. Each key respects that user’s existing permissions, along with the specific access scopes selected when the key is created. This gives account owners greater control over what each integration can access and change.
Getting Started
Developers can begin using API v3 today:
- Sign in to SalesBinder.
- Open your user profile.
- Select API Keys.
- Create a new API key for your integration.
We’ve also created a brand-new API documentation website designed to make it easier to explore everything available in API v3.
The documentation includes authentication instructions, working request examples, complete resource and action references, error-handling guidance, and an OpenAPI description to help developers get up and running quickly.

We’re thrilled to make this new generation of the SalesBinder API available, and we can’t wait to see what developers build with it.
