For eCommerce sellers, changing the prices of their products quickly and effectively is essential to stay competitive and earn more revenue. Repricing and price optimization software helps them increase or decrease the price of an individual item or a group of products automatically and monitor changes in competitors' prices. Pricing software allows retailers to make real-time updates of prices across multiple sales channels with high frequency. It saves time otherwise spent on manual operations and reduces the risk of human error.
As a pricing software provider, you need to receive and manipulate data from your clients' stores related to prices, products, currencies and customers. Without this data, your system can't perform functions such as updating prices, tracking products, generating standard and custom reports, creating coupons, and more.
Getting data from multiple shopping carts and marketplaces requires building integrations with them. Integration is unavoidable if you want to automate the operations your software provides and enable price recalculating, comparing and optimizing.
However, integrating with each eCommerce platform individually is not easy and requires significant technical work, time, money and effort.
If you want to simplify the work of your developers and stay focused on your core product, you can rely on unified API by API2Cart for your pricing software integration. API2Cart pricing integration lets you connect your pricing software with a wide range of shopping platforms through a single API, so you don't have to worry about keeping up with new cart versions as they're released. To see how API2Cart pricing solutions fit your use case, you can review the current supported platforms and API2Cart pricing plans directly with our sales team.

Sync prices across all sales channels
- product.update
- product.list
- product.currency.add
- product.child_item.list
API2Cart provides everything needed for accessing and managing prices and other product details across shopping carts and marketplaces.
Update prices and other product info using the product.update method.
Use the product.list method to get a list of products along with all related info and images. You can retrieve names, prices, attributes, categories, and more, and filter products by creation or modification date, IDs, and other parameters. If your pricing logic needs to account for variations, it's also worth reviewing how to work with product types and variants across eCommerce platforms.
Add product currencies with the product.currency.add method and get a list of currencies for a product via the product.currency.list method.
Find and get lists of child items of products via the product.child_item.list and product.child_item.find methods.
When your pricing software needs to sync large product catalogs frequently, it also helps to understand how to use batch operations and pagination for high-volume eCommerce data sync, which keeps price updates fast and reliable even at scale.
Access order history
Get a customer's order history via the order.list method, which allows filtering orders by email or ID.
Manage customer info
Retrieve all the customer details you need via the customer.info and customer.list methods.
Get abandoned orders
Get a list of incomplete orders along with customer emails and names using the order.abandoned.list method.
