If your project includes integration of a third-party API into WordPress, you've found your expert integration specialist. With my extensive WordPress API Integration experience, I will accomplish any and every goal you have in mind. From eLearning APIs, such as Thinkific, to eCommerce APIs, such as Shopify, or any API - I am interested in your project. =========--- My API Integration Process All of my API Integration projects are developed as a custom plugin, which is to ensure your project is easier to update and maintain. Every project comes with custom Admin Panels developed to provide you with the ability to fully control and maintain the API Integration. You will get a Settings Dashboard to customize and fine-tune the API Integration, so that you can implement changes as your needs change over time. API Integrations with data management (importing/exporting data) will have custom dashboards to review and control API-specific data. All custom plugins are developed with custom database tables to maximize performance to ensure your API integration runs smooth. Custom database tables can be designed to store data most efficiently, which WordPress' data storage is often unable to accomplish. As the project is developed as a custom plugin, the functionality can follow you in a scenario where you need to rebuild your website. Developers building the solution into a theme will result in you needing to have the project redeveloped when you update or redesign your website. I can handle straight API Integrations (building custom solutions with data from APIs) or integrating APIs with third-party plugins (WooCommerce, MultiVendorX, Listify, ...ect). =========--- Cost / Time Estimates The amount of time required for a WordPress API Integration will depend on what you are looking to accomplish and how deeply the API needs to be integrated. Some WordPress API Integration projects can be completed in 20 to 50 hours, others will require over 100+ hours. I will work with you to come up with a viable plan of action to find a viable development strategy to keep within your budget. If you have a budget, please let me know so that I can optimize my approach to see if there is a solution that can be developed within your budget. All projects will be performed on a fixed-rate basis, requiring a down payment, a half-way milestone, and a final payment upon completion. =========--- Long-Term Project Support Custom development will often require long-term support depending on the API integrated and how much integration occurs into WordPress and/or third-party plugins. With a support agreement, I can implement update functionality to allow your custom plugin to be updated the same as any premium plugin. I will need to know if long-term support is a requirement for your project up-front so that I can ensure this is included. Long-term support requires a retainer agreement in place. =========--- API Integration Experience I have over 10 years of experience with API Integrations into WordPress and can tackle any API Integration need that you have. - Multi-Vendor Shopify API Integration - Multi-Vendor Square API Integration - SEMA API - TalentLMS API - Thinkific API - Active Campaign API - Learning Locker API - Twilio API - AvaTax API - YourMembership API - NetFOURM Pro API - XERO API - CrossPostIt =========--- My Experience I have over 15 years of full-stack website development experience.
