Your users. Their accounts.
Buy anywhere online.

Zinc Link is an SDK that connects the retailer accounts your customers already have and buys on their behalf: their prices, their memberships, their rewards.

Message

Buy as them, not for them

A card on file gets the item to the door. Their own account gets the discounts, the memberships and the history they have already built up.

Their memberships

Their memberships, their rewards

Prime, Walmart+, Circle 360, and an Executive card. Link checks out the way they would, so the free shipping, the member prices, and the points on their own card all still land.

Their terms

Their negotiated prices

Pro Xtra pricing, a Grainger contract, Net 30 on the Uline account. Those terms live on the account, not on the product, and buying on that account is the only way to get them.

Their login

Their sign-in, handled

They sign in once. Passwords stored encrypted, verification codes captured and entered, sessions kept warm. The login is never your customer’s problem, or yours.

The checkout is the easy part

A browser agent given a prompt clicks until something happens. Zinc Link is a typed SDK: what an order is allowed to be is stated up front and checked before it is placed, and everything after checkout is a call away.

Before the order

Make no mistakes, actually

Not “order 10 2x4s, make no mistakes.” A typed request: exact variant, price ceiling, quantity, address. Each is verified before anything is placed.

After the order

Every order, followed to the door

Tracking, delivery confirmation, the invoice filed against the right account, and a refund you can start with one API call.

EncryptedRevocableLogged

Throughout

Secure by design

Credentials encrypted at rest and never on your servers. Every link revocable by the customer, every purchase logged to its account.

Install the SDK.
We handle the rest.

The sophisticated part is ours: the sign-ins, the codes, the proxies, the checkout itself. Yours is one install on web, iOS or Android.

What will you build?

Point-and-click buying is becoming agentic buying. Use Zinc Link as the bedrock. Three things you could build on it:

Field service

Photograph it, reorder it

Your app recognises what is in the photo. Link prices every line on the contractor’s own Home Depot Pro account and buys the lot.

Assistants

The dress from last night’s episode

Your assistant works out which dress. Link finds it and buys it on their account, and when Amazon is out, from the store that is not.
