Most small businesses have two or three systems that do not talk to each other, and a person quietly bridging the gap by copying information between them. That person is the integration, and they are expensive, slow, and occasionally wrong.
API work replaces that. Sometimes it is connecting two existing tools; sometimes it is building an API so your own data can be used elsewhere. Either way the goal is that nobody re-types anything.
We would rather tell you now than take the project and disappoint you.
Worth knowing: Before commissioning a custom integration, check whether Zapier or Make already covers it. For simple flows they are cheaper and faster, and a developer who does not tell you that is not on your side. Custom work earns its cost when the logic is genuinely specific, the volume is high, or the reliability actually matters.
CRM, email platforms, payment providers, booking systems, accounting, and shipping — connected and error-handled.
REST or GraphQL endpoints, authenticated, rate-limited, versioned, and documented.
Receiving events reliably, including the retries and idempotency that stop a duplicate webhook charging someone twice.
Moving records between systems without losing or duplicating anything, with a dry run first.
Failures alert someone. Silent failure is the default in most integrations and it is how data quietly goes missing for months.
What it does, what it expects, and what to do when it breaks.
Deliberately mainstream choices. You should be able to hand this to any competent developer later without them needing to learn something exotic first.

Simple integrations between two well-documented services run $1,800–$4,000. Custom API builds start around $5,000. The cost driver is rarely the happy path — it is the error handling, retries, and edge cases that make it reliable.
Often, yes, and we will tell you when. Zapier and Make are excellent for straightforward flows at modest volume. Custom work makes sense when the logic is genuinely specific, volume is high enough that per-task pricing hurts, or a failure has real consequences.
Sometimes. Some systems allow database access, file exports, or unofficial endpoints. We will tell you honestly if it is fragile — building on an undocumented endpoint means it can break without warning.
It will eventually — third-party APIs change. We build in alerting so you find out immediately, and maintenance plans cover keeping integrations working as the services they depend on evolve.
