# Ecommerce API overview

Connect your product to your customers’ ecommerce platforms. Read orders, customers, products, and stores through one API for commerce data imports and reporting.

## From online stores to your commerce product

Customer systems → Apideck Ecommerce API → Your product.
Customers authorize their system through Vault. The unified model gives your integration a consistent shape. Available operations and fields vary by connector.

## Understand the core resources

- [Orders](https://developers.apideck.com/apis/ecommerce/reference/orders.md): Orders and associated transaction details exposed by the connected store.
- [Customers](https://developers.apideck.com/apis/ecommerce/reference/customers.md): Customer records associated with ecommerce purchases.
- [Products](https://developers.apideck.com/apis/ecommerce/reference/products.md): Product catalog records available from the connected platform.

## Get connected in three steps

1. [Check coverage](https://developers.apideck.com/apis/ecommerce/coverage). Confirm the connector exposes the operations and fields your workflow needs.
2. [Authorize a connection](https://developers.apideck.com/guides/vault.md). Create a consumer for your customer and use Vault to connect their system.
3. [Make and verify a request](https://developers.apideck.com/get-started.md). Use your server-side credentials to read a supported resource, then inspect the response and request logs.

## Implementation considerations

- Check which read operations and fields are available for the customer’s ecommerce connector.
- Keep store and source record identifiers alongside imported data so records remain traceable.
- Follow pagination for complete imports and plan how to reconcile changes in orders and products.

## Explore Ecommerce connectors

[Browse the searchable connector catalog](https://developers.apideck.com/apis/ecommerce) and follow each connector’s setup instructions. Status and resource coverage vary. Use the catalog for current connector entries rather than treating this overview as a coverage snapshot.
