Enabling breakthrough retail solutions, one API at a time
We experienced the integration challenge firsthand. After months building custom connectors for each platform, we built the infrastructure that powers breakthrough retail solutions. Metristack is that infrastructure.
From integration challenges to infrastructure solutions
In 2023, our team was building breakthrough lending products for retail merchants. We quickly discovered that every commerce platform—Shopify, Square, Clover, WooCommerce—had different APIs, different data formats, and different authentication methods.
What should have taken weeks stretched into months. Our engineering team spent more time building integrations than creating the innovative lending features that would transform merchants' businesses.
We realized every fintech, analytics, and business tools company was building the same foundation—dozens of platform-specific integrations just to access the data that powers breakthrough retail solutions.
The opportunity we saw:
