API integration services

Our API integration services connect the systems your business already uses, so data moves between them without copying and pasting: CRM, ERP, payments such as UPI and M-Pesa, WhatsApp and Google Sheets.

Systems that do not talk to each other cost time and cause errors. We connect them through their APIs, test each connection with real records, and add alerts so your team knows when something fails. Where a system has no API for what you need, we tell you and suggest the next-best route.

For example: paid orders from your online store appearing in your accounting system and a Google Sheet, without anyone copying them across.

What our integration services include

  • CRM and ERP connections

    Customers, orders and invoices kept in step between your CRM, ERP and accounting system.

  • Payment integrations

    UPI, M-Pesa and regional gateways connected to your store, app or invoicing, with payment status sent back.

  • WhatsApp and Google Sheets

    Order updates and reminders on WhatsApp, and live data in the Google Sheets your team already uses.

  • Custom APIs, with documentation

    An API for your partners or your own apps, documented so another developer can use it.

  • Alerts when a connection fails

    If a connected system is down or rejects a record, your team is told and nothing is silently lost.

  • Tests for each integration

    Each connection is tested with real records, including failures and duplicates.

Who it’s for

  • Businesses entering the same data twice

    Orders typed into the store, then the accounting system, then a spreadsheet.

  • Teams that want their tools connected

    WhatsApp, payments or a CRM linked to the systems you already rely on.

  • Products that need an API for partners

    Partners and resellers who need to place orders or read data from your system.

What you get at handover

Everything is handed over in your name, so you can run it, change it or move it to another team.

What affects the cost

We quote after a scoping conversation, so there is no fixed price on the site. These are the factors that move the cost of this work up or down; the proposal states the scope, what is not included and the price.

Technologies we commonly use

  • REST and webhook APIs
  • UPI and regional payment gateways
  • M-Pesa
  • WhatsApp Business messaging
  • Google Sheets
  • Python and TypeScript
Number of systems and directions
A one-way sync between two systems is smaller than a two-way sync across four.
Quality of each system’s API
Well-documented APIs are quicker to connect than older systems without one.
Volume and timing
Real-time updates and high volumes need more careful design than a nightly sync.
Data mapping
How different the systems’ fields are, and how much clean-up the data needs.
Monitoring and alerts
Who is told when something fails, and how.

Questions

The ones your customers use, including UPI in India, M-Pesa in East Africa and regional gateways elsewhere. We confirm the provider’s API during scoping.

Tell us what you want to build.

Describe the work. We will scope it with you, or tell you plainly if it is not work we should take on.
