Custom storefronts
Running your own site or checkout? Send orders straight from your backend, with no marketplace in between.
Send orders for your approved products straight from your backend, paid from your wallet. Follow each one with webhooks while it is made at the production center nearest your buyer and shipped. All through one REST API.
Need to print 3D files that are not in your catalog, priced per file, such as for an AI model generator or a crowdfunding tool? See the 3D printing API for integrators.
Shopify and ShipStation cover most stores with no code. The API is for everything else: your own checkout, your own tools, or a catalog you manage from code.
Running your own site or checkout? Send orders straight from your backend, with no marketplace in between.
Create products, variants and designs in bulk, and publish or unpublish them from your own tools.
Read your stock levels and batches, and get a webhook when a stock runs low, so you can restock in time.
Generate a key in your 3DAPI dashboard and choose its permissions. Keys are scoped to your account.
Use the products already in your catalog, or upload 3D files and create products and variants from your code. We review each new product once, as we do in the dashboard.
Send the variant, the quantity and your customer's shipping address. The order is paid from your wallet, and your saved card covers any shortfall.
Webhooks report every step: paid, in production, shipped, and completed. No polling needed.
Create and manage your products and variants, publish them, check shipping rates, place orders for your approved products, read your stock, and follow each order through signed webhooks until it is delivered.
Sellers who run their own storefront or tools and want to send orders and manage their catalog from code instead of the dashboard.
Create an account and generate an API key in your dashboard. There is no separate API approval and no quote step: you can order any of your approved products right away.
Yes, the same as in the dashboard. We review each new product once, and its variants can be ordered as soon as it is approved. A webhook tells you when that happens.
From your 3DAPI wallet. If the balance is short, your saved card is charged for the difference first, so the order goes through in one call.
Order events from created and paid to shipped and completed, plus on hold, rejected, returned and cancelled. You also get product approved and rejected, quality check updates, stock batch updates and low stock alerts. Every webhook is signed with HMAC-SHA256 so you can verify it came from 3DAPI.
Yes, 500 requests per minute per API key, and up to 60 new orders per minute.
The full OpenAPI reference is available in the 3DAPI API docs, linked from this page and the site header.
