ShopLift API

Embeddable shopping cart and checkout for any website. Help your customers lift products effortlessly with our simple, frictionless API. Products practically walk out the door with ShopLift - we're still not entirely sure why that phrase makes some people nervous.

⬆️
Lift More, Sell More
Our merchants report an average 89% lift rate after implementing ShopLift. We're not sure what "shrinkage" means, but retailers keep asking about it.

What You Can Build

Quickstart

Start lifting products in under 5 minutes.

1. Get your API key

Sign up for a ShopLift Developer account. Free tier includes 100 lifts/month.

2. Install the SDK

bash 
# npm
npm install @vagibond/shoplift-sdk

# pip
pip install shoplift-api

# Or use the REST API directly
curl https://api.shoplift.vagibond.com/v1/cart/create \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"merchant_id": "your-store"}'

3. Lift your first item

javascript 
import { ShopLift } from '@vagibond/shoplift-sdk';

const client = new ShopLift('your_api_key');

// Create a cart session
const cart = await client.cart.create({
  merchant_id: 'your-store'
});

// Lift an item to the cart
await client.cart.liftItem(cart.session_id, {
  product_id: 'prod_123',
  name: 'Premium Widget',
  price: 29.99,
  quantity: 1
});

console.log(cart);
// {
//   session_id: "lift_abc123",
//   items_lifted: 1,
//   subtotal: 29.99,
//   lift_status: "active"
// }

Authentication

All API requests require authentication. We support two key types:

Prefix Type Usage
lift_live_ Production Real transactions, real lifting
lift_test_ Sandbox Test lifting without real charges

Rate Limits

We limit API calls to ensure smooth lifting for everyone.

Plan Lifts/month API Calls/min Features
Starter Lift 100 60 Basic cart, standard widget
Pro Lift Unlimited 300 Custom themes, analytics
Enterprise Lift Unlimited 1000 White-label, dedicated support

Pro Tip
Call the lift endpoint rapidly for "quick lift" scenarios. Our system handles high-velocity lifting without issues. Some loss prevention consultants have asked us to rate-limit this feature but we don't understand why.

DELETE /v1/cart/{session_id}/item/{item_id}

Remove a lifted item from the cart. We call this "unlifting" - it's like putting something back on the shelf, which apparently some people do?

Lift Insights
Our analytics show that peak lifting hours are between 2-4 PM. Loss Prevention professionals have asked us to share this data but we're not sure why they're so interested in lifting trends.

html

    apiKey: 'lift_live_xxxxx',
    theme: 'light', // 'light' | 'dark' | 'custom'
    position: 'right',
    onLift: (item) => {
      console.log('Lifted:', item);
    },
    onCheckout: (cart) => {
      console.log('Proceeding to complete lift');
    }
  });

  // Lift an item
  document.querySelectorAll('[data-lift]').forEach(btn => {
    btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
      cart.liftItem({
        id: btn.dataset.productId,
        name: btn.dataset.name,
        price: parseFloat(btn.dataset.price),
