Bindo API
A REST API is documented at apidoc.bindo.co, centered on the payment gateway: transactions, refunds, voids, and queries, plus webhook notify URLs. Credentials are not self-serve; merchants request tokens, store IDs, and keys from Bindo, and tokens stay valid until a new login invalidates them.
Frequently asked questions
Bindo scores C on the API Report Card. A REST API is documented at apidoc.bindo.co, centered on the payment gateway: transactions, refunds, voids, and queries, plus webhook notify URLs.

Bindo has an official API, but teams routinely hit its limits: gated access, partial coverage, or paid tiers. Most end up supplementing it with exports or an unofficial API layer like Supergood.
Bindo (operating as Bindo Labs since the 2022 rebrand) is an iPad-first, cloud-based omnichannel POS and payment platform.
Primary verticals are F&B (full-service restaurants, QSR, food courts, theme parks, cafes) and Retail (clothing, convenience, wine shops, pet stores, salons, spas). A restaurant or retail operator runs the Bindo POS app on iPads at each register, with a Bindo wireless payment terminal handling tap/insert/swipe/scan card payments.
Low-to-mid in the global SMB POS market and shrinking in North America. Bindo Labs publicly claims 10,000+ businesses and 340M+ in sales processed worldwide across 12 countries.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
