# Intro

ZephyrCart is a headless commerce platform: storefronts call our HTTP API, we own carts, checkouts,
orders, customers, and the tax + payment plumbing behind them. We deliberately ship no embeddable admin UI: the
expectation is that you build your own.

## What this documentation covers

- The HTTP API at `https://api.zephyrcart.io/v1`
- Webhook events and signature verification
- Official SDKs (TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby) and the language-agnostic OpenAPI spec
- Reference architectures for the three deployment shapes we actively support

## What it does not cover

- The marketing site at `zephyrcart.io` (out of scope; talk to the growth team)
- The legacy `v0` API — scheduled for end of life 2026-12-31, migration guide forthcoming
- Internal runbooks (those live on the [intranet](../intranet/index.md), authenticated)

## A note on conventions

Every endpoint in this documentation is shown with `curl` because every visitor can read it.
Language-specific snippets follow in the [SDK section](integrations/index.md). When an example
uses a placeholder we wrap it in angle brackets, e.g. `<api-key>` — never copy it verbatim.
