Have questions about integrating with shopping platforms?

API2Cart simplifies complex shopping cart API integrations. Find answers to the most common technical and business-related questions below.

Still need assistance? Read more FAQs.

How much latency does API2Cart add to a request?

On average, API2Cart adds about 0.13 seconds, which is approximately 10% of the total response time. The native response time of eCommerce platforms is around 1.42 seconds, and API2Cart returns the full response in 1.56 seconds.

Why is the total response time around 1.5 seconds?

Most eCommerce platforms respond in 0.9–2+ seconds even for direct integrations. API2Cart works on top of those native APIs, so the baseline comes from the platform itself. Our internal processing adds only ~0.13 seconds, keeping the total response time within industry norms.

Will my SaaS be slower compared to building direct integrations?

No. The difference between a direct integration and via API2Cart is about 0.13 seconds on average. This is negligible compared to the time and cost saved by avoiding building and maintaining dozens of individual integrations.
