Vend Overview

With the Vend API, you can streamline your customer experience and build
customer loyalty by leveraging customer data, product information and stock
control.

The Vend API can help you create custom checkout experiences for customers that
improve the convenience and speed of their shopping experience. For example,
you can integrate your store’s website with the Vend API to enable customers
the ability to purchase goods directly from your website. You can also power
loyalty programs through the Vend API, allowing customers to earn and redeem
rewards points on purchases.

In addition to connecting customers to your store, the Vend API can also be
used to help streamline product management and stock control. You can use the
Vend API to provide customers information about product availability, pricing,
and delivery options as well as helping you manage stock levels and reordering.

The opportunities are endless with Vend API, here are some examples of products
you can create:

  • Custom checkout experiences
  • Loyalty programs
  • Product catalogs
  • Stock control
  • Reordering automation
  • Delivery options
  • Payment integration
  • Faster checkout process
  • Real-time product updates

Trigger Configuration

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.
LabelPropTypeDescription
VendvendappThis component uses the Vend app.
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.
N/Ahttp$.interface.httpThis component uses $.interface.http to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the run() method of the component.
Event TypeeventTypestringSelect a value from the drop down menu:{ "label": "Sale Update", "value": "sale.update" }{ "label": "Product Update", "value": "product.update" }{ "label": "Customer Update", "value": "customer.update" }{ "label": "Inventory Update", "value": "inventory.update" }{ "label": "Register Closure Create", "value": "register_closure.create" }{ "label": "Register Closure Update", "value": "register_closure.update" }{ "label": "Consignment Send", "value": "consignment.send" }{ "label": "Consignment Receive", "value": "consignment.receive" }

Trigger Authentication

Vend uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Vend account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Vend and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Vend API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
