Snipcart is a developer-first shopping cart platform that enables merchants to add fully functional e-commerce to any website by embedding a JavaScript snippet. It provides a REST API accessible at https://app.snipcart.com/api for managing orders, customers, products, discounts, notifications, abandoned carts, and custom shipping methods. Authentication uses HTTP Basic Auth with a secret API key generated from the merchant dashboard, and the platform supports webhooks for real-time event notifications on orders, subscriptions, shipping, and taxes. Snipcart is stack-agnostic and integrates with static site generators, headless CMSs, and modern JavaScript frameworks.
