How much does it cost to join your API?
We charge an initial development fee to those wanting to use our API service. This can be recoverable against your first few months' orders and will vary according to your requirements. Generally expect between $1000 - $2500
There is a monthly subscription fee, again which will vary subject to your requirements. Please contact your account manager to discuss these.
What is API?
Simply put, an API is a system that can integrate two pieces of software together so that they can share functionality and data.
By using Tiger One's API service, you can either;
- Consolidate all your daily orders or replenishment requirements into one, with one single click, delivered to you next day, or
- Automate all your individual retail orders, which will be shipped direct to your customers, appearing as though it came from you.
Here is how it works:
You join our API.
Your customers place their orders on your site and we receive them automatically on to ours.
We collate all your customers orders into a single stock order through our API. We pick, pack and send the stock directly to you the next day. You send each individual order to your customers once you have received the single stock order from us or….
Your customers place their orders on your site and we receive them automatically to ours.
We send these direct to your customer with no Tiger One marketing. It will appear as though you have sent the item.
