We at Dash101 have built a powerful full-stack eCommerce platform that allows individuals or organizations to launch and manage an online business. It offers a free website, industry-leading logistic SaaS solution, online payment integrations, COD, marketing, and promotion tools.

So what is this announcement about?

Well, we have taken the game a notch higher. We now allow external developers to interact with our system using APIs. That means you need not worry about interacting with our Dash101 Seller Panel manually, it can seamlessly integrate with your existing system.

How did we do it?

Some of the key things we needed to do to enable this API integration

  • Created an authentication system that allows external developers to interact with our platform in a secure way.
  • These APIs are REST which means they have predictable resource-oriented URLs, JSON-encoded response and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.
  • Standardized response and error codes for easy debugging.
  • Enabled integration in a test environment as well which doesn’t affect your live data.
  • Also, we created beautiful and very detailed documentation on how to use our APIs using ReDoc.

Next Steps

  • Currently, we have exposed Pincode Serviceability and Order Management APIs. We would be expanding our API Suite to provide more functionalities pretty soon.
  • We request you as a developer to try our integration and provide us with feedback.
