Features
API and webhooks
Connect your own systems to Kila with API keys that read products, stock, customers and sales, and webhooks that tell your server when things happen.
API and webhooks let your own systems work with Kila: a website that shows your prices and stock, a sign-up form that creates customers, a reporting tool that reads sales, or a server that acts when a sale completes. The API reads products, stock, branches, customers and sales, and creates customers. Webhooks send events to your own web address, signed so your server knows they came from Kila.
