Introduction

Dropcart is an e-commerce platform for drop shipping. With this API connector, you can use your own solutions (like a web shop or supply management system) to interact with the Dropcart platform.

Requirements

To use the Dropcart API connector, all you need are the public and private key. These can be found in the settings of each supplier or shop you have created in your account on the Dropcart website.

The Dropcart API connector requires PHP 7.2 at minimum. You may need to install and enable the JSON module.

Installation

The easiest way to install the Dropcart API connector is through Composer.

$ composer require dropcart/dropcart-api-php

Getting started

Initialize the Dropcart API connector:

$token = (new \Dropcart\Api\Token())->setKeyPairFromEnvironment();
$dropcart = new \Dropcart\Api\Client($token);

The first line reads the public and private key (the key pair) from the environment, which is the recommended way. By default the environment variables are called DROPCART_PUBLIC_KEY and DROPCART_PRIVATE_KEY, but you can use others. See the documentation for more details and another way to set the key pair.

Example

Retrieve a paginated list of products:

$products = $dropcart->supplier()->products()->list(new \Dropcart\Api\Types\Supplier\Product\Listing());

This will give you an ProductCollection instance. You can get the data through the getData() method or simply iterate over the object with foreach:

// returns array of ProductResource objects
$products->getData();

foreach ($products as $product) {
    // $product is a ProductResource
}

The Listing parameter instance contains methods to control what data you want to see returned.
