Overview
Welcome to the development guides! These resources are designed to help you get the most out of Loop’s APIs and webhooks, whether you’re looking for step-by-step instructions for specific endpoints (“Guides”) or want to implement more advanced, real-world workflows (“Use Cases”).
📖 What are Guides?
Guides are focused, step-by-step instructions for integrating directly with a specific API endpoint or webhook. They’re perfect for accomplishing a single, well-defined task—such as creating a return record in another system or subscribing to a webhook event.
Start with a guide if you’re new to a specific API or webhook. Explore use cases when you’re ready to build more advanced workflows!
