The secret backbone of e-commerce.
Zinc is building the programmable commerce layer for the internet. Our API already enables tens of thousands of transactions each month, and our goal is much bigger: a world where any purchase online can be automated and integrated through a simple API. As commerce shifts to automation, AI, and agents — the purchasing layer of the internet will become essential infrastructure — which is what we're building at Zinc.
Zinc provides an e-commerce infrastructure API that lets developers search products, place orders, track shipments, and handle returns across retailers through a single API. It enables automated buying workflows and a programmable purchasing experience.
Zinc offers an API to search products, place orders, track shipments, and process returns from multiple retailers. It includes a unified dashboard, event webhooks for order status updates, and safeguards like price ceilings. Users fund a Zinc Wallet via Stripe; purchases deduct item cost, tax, shipping, and an API fee from the wallet, or use a retailer account directly if providing retailer login. It supports high-throughput ordering, real-time product data access, variant mapping, and normalized identifiers across retailers, with pricing at $0.01 per API call plus discounts as you grow.
Who it’s for: Developers and platforms building purchasing, fulfillment, or resale experiences who want to automate online buying and order tracking across multiple retailers.
