Build on Povito#
Povito has two public APIs, documented here with the same conventions: each has a Sandbox and a Live environment, takes its key as a bearer token, and publishes its OpenAPI contract. Pick the one that matches what you are building — or start with which API do I need.
- Partner APISync a seller's catalog, stock, prices and orders from your own ERP or POS. Bulk-first, keyed by your own SKUs.
- Checkout APIAccept payments through Povito Checkout: create a session, send the shopper to the hosted page, verify the result.
For both APIs#
- Which API do I need — a decision table by what you are building.
- Keys and environments — Sandbox and Live base URLs, key formats, and exactly where each key is accepted.
- Errors — how each API reports a failure, side by side.
- Security — key hygiene, what Povito Checkout holds, reporting a vulnerability.
- Legal — the terms, privacy policy and related documents, and their review status.
