Sell globally, fulfill instantly without the manual lift

Zinc is the API layer for online purchasing.

What is Zinc?

We power retail data, ordering, tracking, and returns — all via developer-first APIs. Built for fast-moving teams creating agentic tools, eCommerce platforms, and everything in between.

Zinc has powered over 4.5M orders across hundreds of companies. From early AI-native startups to global logistics platforms, we’re the connective tissue between software and the real-world economy.

Our Mission

We believe commerce will be increasingly autonomous and software should handle the real world, not just point to it.

The next generation of platforms — whether personal agents, internal tooling, or intelligent apps will need to buy things, understand products, and provide end-to-end fulfillment flows. We exist to make that not only possible, but easy.

Our Values

Developers First

Every decision we make comes back to one thing: making it easier for developers to build great commerce experiences. Great docs, reliable APIs, and clear support — no gatekeeping.

Infrastructure, Not Interfaces

We don’t build storefronts. We build the rails beneath them. We believe in shipping low-level primitives that scale, adapt, and don’t get in your way.

Profit-Powered, Not Venture-Dependent

We’ve been around for nearly a decade — and we’re profitable. We believe long-term resilience matters more than flashy launches or fundraising rounds.

Agent-Native, Web-Wide

While retail is where we started, Zinc isn’t just about eCommerce. We're building a way for software to transact with the physical world — one structured API call at a time.
