API and integrations
Bold Bolt, connected to the rest of your business
Your shop does not live alone. It issues legal invoices, collects through payment providers, keeps money in banks and works with other software. The Bold Bolt API connects all of it.
API access is activated shop by shop, on request.What you can connect
Standardised e-invoicing platforms
Send every invoice to the tax authority platform of your country the moment it is issued, and keep its validation number on the invoice. Built for the national e-invoicing systems now spreading across Africa and Europe.
Your payment providers
Collect through the mobile money, card and payment link providers your shop already uses. A confirmed payment closes the sale or settles the invoice by itself.
Banking platforms
Follow your bank accounts in real time, bring statements in automatically and match them against what the books expect.
Third party software
Accounting software, e-commerce stores, marketplaces, logistics partners and the dashboards of your suppliers or financiers.
Your own tools
Read sales, stock, customers and figures from your own scripts, spreadsheets or business intelligence tools.
Events as they happen
Be told when a sale is made, stock runs low, a payment arrives or a delivery is done.
How it works
Keys per shop
The owner creates an API key for the shop, names it, and can revoke it at any moment.
Rights, not trust
A key carries rights, exactly like a person: read only, sell, receive stock. Nothing more than it is given.
Same rules as the counter
An order taken through the API checks the stock, the price and the credit limit, and posts to the books like any other sale.
A trail for everything
Every call is recorded with the key that made it, so you always know who did what.
