Build the future of
retail infrastructure.
RetailCoder is built by engineers, for engineers. Comprehensive APIs, type-safe SDKs, and a powerful CLI to manage your retail ecosystem.
Type-safe by default.
Our SDKs are generated directly from our OpenAPI specifications, ensuring that your payloads are always correct and you get full autocomplete in your IDE.
import { RetailCoder } from "@retailcoder/sdk";
const rc = new RetailCoder({
apiKey: process.env.RC_API_KEY,
});
// 1. Reserve inventory in RC:OMS
const reservation = await rc.oms.inventory.reserve({
sku: "TSHIRT-BLK-M",
quantity: 1,
storeId: "wh_ny_01"
});
// 2. If successful, route via RC:Ship
if (reservation.success) {
const shipment = await rc.ship.createLabel({
orderId: reservation.orderId,
serviceLevel: "NEXT_DAY"
});
}
A Platform Built by Engineers
How RetailCoder’s unyielding commitment to developer experience (DX) translates directly into merchant growth, speed to market, and operational agility.
The true cost of bad DX
"When developers love the tools they use, they ship faster, they build more robust integrations, and they unlock features the business didn't even know were possible."
In the boardrooms of enterprise retail brands, technical decisions are often made by non-technical stakeholders evaluating feature checklists. What they fail to account for is the Developer Experience (DX). When a platform is built on undocumented APIs, proprietary templating languages, and hostile integration environments, the engineering team spends 80% of their time fighting the software rather than building features.
Bad DX has a direct, measurable impact on merchant growth. If your marketing team wants to launch a highly customized pre-order campaign, but your monolithic ecommerce platform requires your engineers to write custom Java extensions just to modify the cart payload, the campaign will take months to launch and cost thousands of dollars in engineering hours.
At RetailCoder, we believe that an exceptional developer experience is the ultimate competitive advantage. When developers love the tools they use, they ship faster, they build more robust integrations, and they unlock features the business didn't even know were possible.
API-First is Not a Buzzword
Many legacy platforms claim to be 'API-first' simply because they bolted a REST API onto a 15-year-old database schema. That is not API-first; that is an afterthought. RetailCoder was designed differently.
Every single feature, configuration, and state change within our five core modules (RC:Storefront, RC:OMS, RC:Ship, RC:POS, RC:Pulse) is driven by our public APIs. The RetailCoder admin dashboard you interact with daily is built entirely using the exact same APIs we expose to your developers.
This means there are no hidden endpoints. There are no undocumented behaviors. If you can perform an action in our UI, your developers can automate it via our API. This unyielding commitment to API parity ensures that you are never locked into our interface. You can build completely custom operational dashboards tailored precisely to your warehouse layout or your customer service workflows.
The Power of the Webhook
Modern commerce is event-driven. Polling APIs to check for order updates is an archaic, resource-intensive anti-pattern. RetailCoder provides an incredibly robust, low-latency webhook infrastructure that acts as the central nervous system of your retail operation.
Our webhooks cover every granular state change. When inventory is allocated, a webhook fires. When a tracking number is generated, a webhook fires. When a customer abandons a checkout, a webhook fires. Your developers can subscribe to these specific events and trigger serverless functions (like AWS Lambda or Vercel Edge Functions) to instantly update external systems.
By treating infrastructure as code and providing best-in-class SDKs for modern languages like TypeScript and Python, RetailCoder transforms your engineering team from software maintainers into business accelerators.
