Can I use ShopIQ APIs?
Yes. ShopIQ has APIs for selected capabilities, including website creation and image creation. These APIs allow approved partners to use ShopIQ capabilities directly inside their own applications, platforms, or customer journeys. For example, a payment gateway can use the ShopIQ Website Creation API to help its merchants create ecommerce websites directly from within the payment gateway's onboarding flow.
What is the ShopIQ API Partner Program?
The ShopIQ API Partner Program is a separate program for approved partners who want API-level access to ShopIQ capabilities. It is designed for businesses that want to embed ShopIQ's AI commerce capabilities inside their own product experience.
This may include:
- Payment gateways
- Logistics platforms
- Banking platforms
- SaaS tools
- MSME platforms
- Agency platforms
- Commerce enablement companies
- Marketplaces
- Business onboarding platforms
API access is not the same as a standard merchant account.
What can API partners build?
- Letting merchants create websites during onboarding
- Generating ecommerce storefronts from business details
- Creating product visuals inside another platform
- Offering AI image creation to sellers
- Adding website creation as a value-added service
- Supporting merchant digitization at scale
- Creating embedded commerce workflows
The exact use cases depend on the API, partner approval, technical scope, and commercial agreement.
What is the Website Creation API?
The Website Creation API allows approved partners to create websites using ShopIQ's website generation capabilities. For example, a partner platform can collect merchant details during onboarding and use ShopIQ's API to create a website for that merchant. This can help partners offer a stronger merchant experience without building a website generation system from scratch.
What is the Image Creation API?
The Image Creation API allows approved partners to use ShopIQ's image generation capabilities. This may help partners offer product visuals, lifestyle images, creative assets, or ecommerce-ready images inside their own application. The exact image workflows depend on API capability, partner access, and usage configuration.
Can standard merchants use APIs directly?
API access is part of a separate API Partner Program. Standard merchants usually use ShopIQ through the dashboard, AI Chat, website builder, WhatsApp workflows, and supported integrations. Businesses that need API access should apply for or contact ShopIQ about the API Partner Program.
Are APIs available for all ShopIQ features?
No. APIs are available for selected capabilities. Current API examples include website creation and image creation. Other ShopIQ features may not be available as public or partner APIs unless specifically enabled through the API Partner Program.
Do API calls consume AI credits?
API usage may follow separate commercial, usage, billing, or credit rules under the API Partner Program. API partners should review their agreement, API documentation, rate limits, usage pricing, and billing structure with ShopIQ.
ShopIQ APIs are designed for approved API partners. Partners should contact ShopIQ to understand access, documentation, authentication, pricing, rate limits, support, and allowed use cases.
