Built for connected operations
Developer workflows should support the real B2B objects in the platform: products, distributors, orders, invoices, storefronts, fulfillment, and reports.
Developers
API and developer workflows for wholesale operations
Use BrandGate API, webhooks, and structured exports to connect products, orders, distributors, invoices, storefronts, and fulfillment context to your existing stack.
REST
structured API patterns
Hooks
event-driven workflows
ERP
handoff-ready data model
Designed for controlled rollout
API work should start with safe data, clear ownership, and an understanding of which system owns each piece of the workflow.
REST API
Build custom product, order, customer, and workflow connections when standard integrations are not enough.
Webhooks
React to order, inventory, customer, or workflow events as they happen.
Exports
Use structured CSV or data export paths when a full integration is not yet necessary.
Implementation planning
Map API usage against finance, ERP, warehouse, and storefront ownership before shipping.
Developers
APIs need business context
A technically correct integration can still fail if ownership and workflow timing are unclear.
System ownership
Decide where products, prices, customers, orders, invoices, and stock are mastered.
Idempotency and retries
Operational integrations need safe retry behavior and predictable identifiers.
Permission boundaries
Buyer and team access should not be bypassed by custom workflows.
Auditability
Changes that affect orders, invoices, or buyer access should be traceable.
Developers
A safer developer rollout
Plan the integration like an operational workflow, not just an endpoint checklist.
Map entities and ownership
List the objects and decide which system owns each source of truth.
Prototype with QA data
Use disposable records and sandbox external systems before touching live orders.
Monitor and iterate
Watch failures, retries, logs, and user-facing states after rollout.
Developer-friendly without losing operator clarity
BrandGate should be understandable to business users and still flexible enough for technical teams.
Structured objects
Products, orders, distributors, and invoices are first-class workflow concepts.
Clear admin states
Disconnected or incomplete integrations should remain understandable in the app.
Practical fallback
Exports and manual controls can keep the business moving while deeper integrations mature.
API questions
Is API access available to every plan?
API access is typically part of advanced or custom plans because it needs careful rollout and support.
Can BrandGate connect to a custom ERP?
Yes. API and export workflows can support custom ERP or internal system handoff.
Should integrations be tested with production data?
No. Start with QA or sandbox data and verify behavior before production-facing actions.
Need a custom workflow?
Tell us what should connect and which system owns each part of the process.
