# Digital River API

Use the Digital River API to integrate your commerce platform with our back-end solution for global payments, tax, fraud, compliance, and logistics

## **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.
* [Direct Integrations](/digital-river-api/integration-options/checkouts.md): A more customizable way to build your user experience. Use our ready-to-display features and flexible API suite.
* ​[Connectors](https://docs.digitalriver.com/partner-integrations/): A pre-built integration for your commerce platform. Configure and customize components within your own hosted experience.

## **Start selling risk-free in 240+ markets**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.digitalriver.com/digital-river-api/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
