# Introduction

Flow Retail is built API-first from the ground up, making it simple and efficient for developers to integrate with our platform. Every feature in Flow Retail is powered by the same robust set of APIs that our own clients use—ensuring consistent, well-documented, and production-tested endpoints for all integrations.

### Getting started

To get started, you simply read yourself up on the [API documentation](/docs/developers/api-documentation.md), create an Integration user in [Flow Admin](https://admin.flowretail.com/), and get started developing.

{% hint style="info" %}
As we have so many APIs, several doing 'almost' the same, it can be a good idea to spend an hour or two with our engineers to figure out which APIs to use for which use-case.
{% endhint %}

### Question?

Reach out to our developers via your contact person, or simply just send an email to our 1. line helpdesk team at [support@flowretail.no](mailto:undefined).
