# Digital River API

## **Start integrating**

Our [Getting started](/digital-river-api/quick-start-guide.md) guide walks you through the basics of making API requests, setting up a Digital River Dashboard account, and getting your API keys.

To better understand some of Digital River's core services and how to use them, we recommend you review the [Using our services](/digital-river-api/using-our-services.md) page.

You can also review our various checkout solutions and select whichever option, or combination of options, best fits your business objectives:

* [Low-code checkouts](/digital-river-api/integration-options/low-code-checkouts.md): The quickest, easiest way to integrate. Add a turnkey Digital River-hosted checkout experience with minimal code or construct unique checkout flows with our components.

* ​[Connectors](https://docs.digitalriver.com/partner-integrations/): A pre-built integration for your commerce platform. Configure and customize components within your own hosted experience.
