Quickstart
Quickstart
This is the fastest path from a brand-new account to a working app. It takes a few minutes and sets up the shared foundation the rest of the suite builds on.
1. Access your entity
Sign in at console.zingasuite.com. If you already have an entity, select it. If you are starting fresh, create your entity and give it a name — this is your workspace, and everything you build lives inside it.
While you are here, open Entity settings and confirm your country, timezone and default language. Getting these right up front keeps dates, currencies and communication timing correct across every app.
2. Invite your teammates
You do not have to work alone. Go to Users in Entity settings and invite the people who will help you run the entity. You invite by email or phone; each person receives an invitation to accept and set up their login.
Give each member a role that matches what they need to do. Owners and administrators get broad access; other members can be limited to specific apps and actions. You can always adjust a member's permissions later.
3. Pick an app to start with
Enable the apps your entity needs from the Apps settings page, then dive into the one that matches your goal. Each app has its own Overview to get you started.
| If you want to… | Start with |
|---|---|
| Sell products online and manage orders | ZingaShop — see its Overview to create your first storefront and catalog. |
| Manage contacts and message them over Email, SMS or WhatsApp | ZingaConnect — see its Overview to import contacts and run a campaign. |
| Build and deliver tests, exams or assessments | Zingalify — see its Overview to author your first test and invite candidates. |
| Publish documentation and offer AI-assisted support | Zingasolve — see its Overview to create a docs space and publish. |
Pick one and get a first result end to end before spreading across the others — the shared contacts, credits and settings you have already configured carry over.
4. For developers: make your first API call
If you plan to integrate programmatically, create an API key and make one call.
- In Entity settings, open API keys and create a key. Choose a scope that matches your needs (for example, read-only). The full key is shown once at creation — copy it and store it securely. Live keys begin with
zk_live_. - Call the public API, passing your key as a bearer token. The base URL is
https://api-v1.zingasuite.com/papi/v1.
curl https://api-v1.zingasuite.com/papi/v1/products \
-H "Authorization: Bearer zk_live_your_key_here"
A successful response returns your data as JSON. From here, the same key and base URL work across the API's resources.
That is the whole API surface in miniature: create a scoped key, send it as a bearer token, call an endpoint. For the complete list of endpoints, request and response formats, scopes and error handling, see the Developer API Reference chapter.
Where to go next
- Read Core Concepts if any term above was unfamiliar.
- Open the Overview of the app you chose in step 3.
- Developers: continue to the Developer API Reference.
