Picqer API
The Picqer API lets you connect your own software to Picqer, such as a custom store, a point-of-sale system or an internal dashboard. The API is available to every customer at no extra cost.

What you can do with the API
You can read all data in Picqer through the API, and edit most of it as well. Push orders and customers from your own store into Picqer, or fetch current stock levels to show them somewhere else.
The API is a RESTful JSON API. Each API key has a rate limit of 500 requests per minute, which we may adjust when the platform is busy. The API documentation describes every endpoint.
API keys
You sign in to the API with an API key. Administrators create keys in Picqer, see API keys for the steps.
Webhooks
Want to be notified the moment something changes in Picqer, such as a new order or a stock change? Use webhooks: Picqer sends a message to an address you specify, so you do not have to keep polling for updates. The webhook documentation explains how to set them up.
Developer account
Building an integration with Picqer? We give you a free developer account to test it. This is how you get one:
- Create a Picqer account, just like any new customer.
- Send the subdomain of that account to support. We convert the account into a developer account. Unlike a trial account, it does not expire.
Let us know right away if you want test data, and whether your integration needs to work with fulfilment. We then import sample products and orders and enable the fulfilment version.
A developer account is for testing and development only. You cannot create a PrintNode account in it, so printing from Picqer is not something you test in a developer account.
Documentation and support
The full API documentation is on our website.
Questions about the API, also when you build for a Picqer customer as an external developer? Contact the Picqer Support team.
