Welcome to Violets Docs

Violet is a unified commerce API, that connects merchants and channels directly.

We build the connections to e-commerce platforms so that you don't have to. One integration with Violet === all the integrations you'll need. Once integrated, you can build full-featured marketplaces and handle e-commerce purchasing through any platform we support. The ones we add in the future come at no additional work for your team.

It's easy to get started with Violet. We recommend our Getting Started guide to walk through all our available APIs and how they can be used by your system.

Connect directly to Merchants S2S, enabling fresh and rapid data exchange. (Sure beats web scraping!) Sync information such as a Merchant's product catalog (more on that below), get pricing, build a cart, and write orders back to their system.

Violet's Catalog APIs provide you with access to a Merchant's collection of products that you can serve through your application. Using these APIs, you can discover new products available for your customers, acquire inventory information, pricing, as well as any transaction metadata needed enable your shoppers to purchase a product connected Merchants. As you integrate with more merchants in your Violet application, no additional work needs to be done to add more products.
