Improve Efficiency with APIs and Integrations

At SHAZAM, we believe in the power of choice and flexibility. We also understand that clients have contracts with multiple vendors for a variety of services which require functional solutions that sync across all vendors.

APIs, or application programming interfaces, are powerful tools for increasing productivity. APIs enable separate software systems to communicate with one another, share data, streamline processes and save time and money. That’s why we’ve made APIs and integrated product offerings available, allowing clients to choose the best solution without paying exorbitant fees for proprietary, packaged products other providers may offer.

One excellent example is the ability for clients to synchronize their core's card or account updates with their debit card processing provider. Account information such as balances or cardholder information, including cardholder address or zip code, may get out of sync between the two providers if the core vendor and debit card processing vendor don’t have a tight integration. This could lead to a frustrating experience for the cardholder and inefficiencies for a client’s staff as they maintain two systems through either a slower batch-based process or manual data entry into respective web portals. Using APIs, a client’s core provider will be able to connect to the client’s debit card processing provider's various systems and automate processes such as balance synching and maintenance.
