Vendo

Overview of Violet's Vendo integration for channel developers

Vendo is a hosted, multi-vendor ecommerce platform built on top of Spree Commerce. Because Vendo is a managed Spree variant, the connection process and integration behavior are nearly identical to Spree with a few minor differences.

Connection

Merchants provide a Client ID and Client Secret from an OAuth application, along with their Store URL. The OAuth application must be created with the admin write scope — the same requirement as Spree.

Webhooks

Webhook behavior is the same as Spree — webhooks are registered automatically. Violet-originated orders are tagged with channel = "Violet".

Notable Behavior

All other behavior (discount support, API format, order submission flow) is the same as Spree.
