Integrations
Connect the tools you already use.
Buy Social integrates with payment processors, tax engines, shipping providers, and e-commerce platforms so you don't have to switch anything.
Live selling creates problems other tools already solved
You sell 200 items in a 45-minute live show. Now you need to charge 200 cards, calculate tax for buyers in 15 different states, print 200 shipping labels, and update inventory so your Shopify store doesn't oversell. That's four different jobs, and you shouldn't have to do any of them manually.
We don't build our own payment processor or our own shipping label printer. We connect to the ones that already work. Stripe handles payments. Avalara or Stripe Tax handles sales tax. Shippo or ShipStation handles shipping. Shopify keeps inventory in sync. Your live show ends and everything downstream happens automatically.
What connects to what
Six integrations across four categories. Here's what each one actually does.
Payments
Every Buy Social transaction goes through Stripe. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Afterpay. You get a standard Stripe dashboard with all your payouts and disputes in one place.
Tax
US sales tax is a mess. You might owe tax in states you've never visited just because you shipped enough orders there. Pick Stripe Tax if you want automatic calculation with no extra vendor. Pick Avalara if you need filing, exemption certificates, or you sell in 20+ states.
Shipping
Shippo is the easier option: compare rates, print labels, done. ShipStation is the heavier one, built for sellers who need warehouse routing, automation rules, or batch processing for hundreds of orders after a live show. You can use either or both.
E-commerce
If you already have a Shopify store, you don't have to pick between it and Buy Social. Products, inventory, orders, and customer records sync both ways. Sell something on a live show and Shopify updates. Change a price in Shopify and Buy Social updates. No CSV exports, no manual entry.
How setup works
Most integrations take under 10 minutes. Here's the general pattern.
Connect your account
For Stripe, you click "Connect" and log in to your existing Stripe account (or create one). For Shopify, you install our app from the Shopify App Store. For shipping and tax, you paste an API key from your provider's dashboard.
Configure your preferences
Pick your default shipping carrier. Set your tax nexus states. Choose whether Shopify or Buy Social is the source of truth for pricing. Each integration has a settings page with the options that matter.
It runs automatically from there
Once connected, it all runs without you. Someone buys on a live show, Stripe charges the card, tax gets calculated, a shipping label prints, and Shopify inventory drops. You don't touch any of it.
What we don't have yet
If you need any of these, it's worth knowing before you sign up.
WooCommerce
We only sync with Shopify right now. WooCommerce sellers would need to manage inventory separately or migrate to Shopify.
QuickBooks / Xero
No direct accounting integration. You can export order data or use Stripe's QuickBooks connection as a workaround.
Amazon / eBay
No marketplace channel sync. If you sell on Amazon alongside live shows, inventory won't sync between the two.
Custom API
No public API or webhooks for custom integrations yet. If you need to connect a system we don't support, reach out and we'll see what we can do.
