What's ordering via API at Coolblue Business?
What's an API?
API stands for 'Application Programming Interface'. Via this interface, you can connect 2 different applications to each other. You can see it as a middleman who passes on your request to us. This way, you don't have to do so yourself. Because your application 'talks' to Coolblue, your business orders go faster than usual. It saves a lot of manual work.
Order via your own system
With an API, you can also create a webshop in your own environment. That's ideal if you often order via Coolblue. You can do this for your employees, but also for your customers. That way, they can order via a familiar environment. Your environment is connected to our webshop. Orders via API are processed automatically. This saves manual work and prevents mistakes. If you order something via an API, we deliver it to you, an employee, or one of your customers the next day.
Who is it for?
