Getting started with a custom connection to the EffectConnect API

What is a custom API?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is not a product itself, but a technology that enables secure data exchange between systems.

By building a custom integration on top of the EffectConnect API, you can, for example:

  • Send products and product information to EffectConnect.
  • Synchronize stock levels and prices.
  • Retrieve orders and other data from EffectConnect.
  • Build your own custom integration.
➡️Good to know: Marketplaces such as Amazon, bol, and many others also provide their own APIs. EffectConnect uses these APIs to exchange data between your account and the marketplace.

When should you use the Custom API?

The Custom API is the right solution when:

  • You have your own webshop or back-office system.
  • No standard plugin or integration is available.
  • You want to build a custom integration.

kb-info Building an integration with the EffectConnect API requires technical expertise.
If you don’t have this expertise in-house, we recommend working with a software developer or implementation partner.

Connecting to the EffectConnect API

To connect to the EffectConnect API and generate API keys, you need an active EffectConnect environment.

EffectConnect supports two versions of the Custom API:

  • Custom API V2
  • Custom API V3

You can find both API versions in the EffectConnect App Store. From there, you can open the integration and generate your Public Key and Private Key to establish a secure connection with our API.
