Connect Zid to any system with a public API
Your system is not on the list? If it has a public API, the link can be built for you on request, and the scope of work sets what it covers.
Public API Any system with a public API
The app works today with Odoo 18 and 19, ERPNext, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations and Wafeq. If your store runs on another system with a public API, the link can be built for you on request.
What the system needs
The link needs a documented public API, and API keys that let the app reach the system’s data. What the link covers depends on what the API allows, such as creating orders and reading stock per warehouse, and the scope of work sets what it covers.

Questions merchants ask
What is a public API?
A documented programming interface that a system's vendor offers its customers, so another app can read and write data in the system using API keys the system issues.
How long does a link to a new system take?
It depends on the system and what its API allows, and the timeline is in the scope of work before you approve it. With the systems listed today, you go live about two weeks after install.
Can any system be connected?
The link is built on request for systems with a public API. What it covers depends on the data the API lets the app read and write.
