API overview

Quickstart

1. Create an API key

1. In your store admin, open Settings → Developers.
2. Under API keys, click Create key, give it a name (for example “Warehouse sync”) and tick only the scopes it needs.
3. Copy the secret. It starts with so_live_ (or so_test_ on trial stores) and is shown only once.

2. Make your first request

Store the key in an environment variable and fetch your store’s details:

export SELLORCHARD_API_KEY="so_live_..."

curl https://api.sellorchard.com/v1/store \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SELLORCHARD_API_KEY"

{
  "data": {
    "id": "01JBX4Q2ZK8V7Y5N3M1P0R9S6T",
    "name": "Green Leaf Goods",
    "currency": "USD",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "test_mode": false
  }
}

3. Make a change

Writes use POST, PATCH and DELETE with a JSON body. Add an Idempotency-Key so a retried request is never applied twice:

curl -X POST https://api.sellorchard.com/v1/inventory-levels/adjust \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SELLORCHARD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"location_id": 1, "variant_id": 5521, "delta": 12, "reason": "received"}'

Base URL & format

All requests go to:

https://api.sellorchard.com/v1/

• HTTPS only. Requests and responses are JSON (Content-Type: application/json).
• Times are ISO-8601 in UTC, e.g. 2026-11-02T14:03:11Z.
• Money is a decimal string next to a currency code, e.g. "price": "19.99" — never a float.
• IDs are integers. The store’s own ID is a ULID string.
• Lists are cursor-paginated; single objects are returned under data.
• Errors use a consistent error object with a matching HTTP status.

Versioning

The version is part of the path (/v1). Within a version we only make backwards-compatible changes: new endpoints, new optional parameters, and new fields in responses. Build your integration to ignore fields it doesn’t recognise.

Breaking changes ship as a new version with advance notice, and the previous version keeps working during a migration period. Webhook payloads carry an api_version (currently 2026-11) so you can tell which shape you’re receiving.
