What You Can Do with the Developer Portal
An overview of what the ReceiptRoller developer portal lets you do. Combine data retrieval and operations via the REST API with real-time event delivery via Webhooks to connect store and user data from external systems.
The developer portal is not shown while on the Free plan
What to check when the ReceiptRoller developer portal is not shown. Explains what to do when your plan is Free, switching business accounts, and the timing of when the display updates.
Developer Help Index
The index of ReceiptRoller developer help. Covers the developer application, app registration, OAuth authentication and scopes, implementation guides (wallet apps, store-facing Webhooks, the Survey API), guides by data domain, operations and security, the community, and troubleshooting.
Setting the redirect URL
Explains the role of the redirect URI (callback URL) you set in the ReceiptRoller developer portal, the registration rules, using development vs. production environments, and common errors and how to handle them.
The flow to getting started
Explains the flow to start using the ReceiptRoller developer portal. If you register as a store user and are on the Starter plan or higher, no separate developer application is needed; you can register an app and begin API implementation right away.
How to register a Webhook
Explains how to register a Webhook endpoint in the ReceiptRoller developer portal, how to choose subscribed events, test delivery, using multiple endpoints, and how to delete or pause an endpoint.
Creating a new app
Explains the concrete steps to register a new app (OAuth client) in the ReceiptRoller developer portal. Covers the input fields, validation, the post-creation credentials display, and common errors.
Available data domains
A one-page overview of the data domains you can retrieve from the ReceiptRoller developer portal. Summarizes the contents, retrieval methods, and required scopes for each domain — transactions, products, inventory, orders, customers, coupons, SNS, advertising, individual user data, and more.
How to read the API reference and docs
Explains the structure of ReceiptRoller's developer documentation and when to use each part. Covers the four entry points — the developer help, the API top page, the Swagger-based API reference, and the developer community — and how to obtain the OpenAPI spec (openapi/v1.json) for use with AI assistants and code generators.
Declaring your purpose of use and connections (POS / e-commerce / analytics, etc.)
Explains the meaning of the "purpose of use" and "connection category" (POS / e-commerce / analytics / CRM / OMS / WMS / SNS / other) declared when registering an app in the ReceiptRoller developer portal, how to choose them, cautions when changing them, and the relationship to User-scope review.
Webhook is not being delivered
How to isolate the cause when a Webhook does not reach your receiving endpoint. Walks through checking, in order, the endpoint settings, subscribed events, reachability, signature-verification failures, and firewalls.
app_not_approved is returned for User-scope calls
What to check when using a User-scope results in an app_not_approved error. Explains development with a sandbox slot, applying for review, and the flow from sandbox to production.
Rotating and safely storing secrets
Explains the rotation plan for safely operating ReceiptRoller client secrets and Webhook secrets, how to use the old/new parallel period, and best practices for storage.
Managing the client ID and client secret
Explains how to obtain the client ID and client secret issued when you register a ReceiptRoller app, storage rules, what to do on a leak, and operating across multiple environments.
Cannot obtain a token (authentication error)
How to isolate the cause when you cannot obtain an access token. Explains the representative errors — invalid_client, invalid_grant, redirect_uri_mismatch — and what to do about them.
SLA, uptime, and the checking procedure during an incident
Explains ReceiptRoller's API uptime targets, how to check the status page, the isolation procedure when an incident occurs, and the flow for escalating to support.
Applying for review of User-scopes
For apps that handle general consumers' data (user.* scopes) on ReceiptRoller, this explains the review application flow, the documents to submit, the review criteria, the review period, and common reasons for rejection.
SNS Webhook bypass (forwarding Webhooks from external SNS such as LINE)
Explains the mechanism, setup, signature handling, and cautions of the "SNS Webhook bypass" feature, which forwards Webhooks ReceiptRoller receives from SNS platforms such as LINE to a developer app, with the store's consent.
Monitoring and handling failures
Explains how to read the ReceiptRoller Webhook delivery history, the metrics to monitor and how to design alerts, redelivering dead letters, and common failure patterns and recovery procedures.
What is application registration
Explains the concept of ReceiptRoller application registration. Registering an app as an OAuth client issues a client ID, secret, and redirect URI, letting you start API and Webhook integrations.
