To securely access the Orders API, use a GHL API token with the appropriate scope (e.g., payments/integration.readonly or payments/integration.write). Keep your credentials secure and periodically rotate tokens. The connection should be authorized on both your GHL and Act! sides.
Act! authenticates to GHL using OAuth-style flows or API keys, depending on your setup. Ensure the redirect URL is registered, and that the app has been granted access to the Payments API scopes required for your workflow.
GET /payments/integrations/provider/whitelabel POST /payments/integrations/provider/whitelabel GET /payments/orders/ GET /payments/orders/:orderId GET /payments/orders/:orderId/fulfillments POST /payments/orders/:orderId/fulfillments GET /payments/transactions/ GET /payments/transactions/:transactionId GET /payments/subscriptions/ GET /payments/subscriptions/:subscriptionId … additional endpoints defined in your integration plan …
Trigger: a new order is created in Act! or a payment is processed in GHL
Actions: create/update an order in Orders API, link the payment, and generate a fulfillment record in Act!
Method example: GET /payments/orders/:orderId and POST /payments/orders/:orderId/fulfillments
Key fields: orderId, customerId, amount, currency, status
Trigger: transaction status changes in GHL
Actions: update Act! payments, log the transaction, notify finance teams
Method example: GET /payments/transactions/:transactionId
Key fields: transactionId, orderId, amount, status, timestamp
Trigger: subscription events from GHL
Method example: GET /payments/subscriptions/:subscriptionId
Key fields: subscriptionId, customerId, planId, status, nextBillingDate
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code, saving time and reducing errors.
Real‑time data sync keeps Act! and Orders updated automatically.
Easy maintenance with clear endpoints and built‑in authentication.
This glossary explains essential terms and how they relate to the Act! to Orders API integration.
Application Programming Interface that enables Act! and GHL Orders API to communicate securely and efficiently.
A specific URL or path in the API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving an order or creating a fulfillment.
The process of verifying identity and permissions to access API resources, typically via tokens or OAuth.
A lightweight callback mechanism that notifies Act! or GHL about events like order creation or payment status changes.
Automatically create an order in Orders API when a new lead is added in Act! to shorten the sales cycle.
Update Act! with payment status changes as they occur, ensuring invoices and orders match.
Trigger Act! order fulfillment steps when a fulfillment occurs in GHL to keep customers informed.
Register your GHL app, obtain client credentials, and set the correct redirect URL for Act! integration.
Choose scope payments/integration.readonly or payments/integration.write as needed, and map endpoints to Act! fields.
Run test payments and orders, verify data syncing, and enable live mode with monitoring alerts.
No‑code apps and connectors allow quick setup without custom coding. Use the built‑in connector to map fields and automate workflows between Act! and GHL. If you are comfortable with basic configuration, you can leverage the visual builder to create triggers and actions. Consider using prebuilt templates to accelerate deployment.
Key endpoints include orders, fulfillments, transactions, and subscriptions. Start with GET /payments/orders/, POST /payments/orders/:orderId/fulfillments, and GET /payments/transactions/:transactionId. Expand to subscriptions and whitelabel provider endpoints as needed.
Authentication uses OAuth‑ or token‑based methods. A developer API key with the scope payments/integration.readonly or payments/integration.write is required, depending on whether you need read or write access. Ensure the app is authorized and the redirect URL is correct.
Use test mode to simulate orders and payments, verify data syncing, and check webhooks. Monitor the Activity/Logs in GHL and Act! for any failures, and adjust mappings as needed.
Historic data can be migrated in batches or via incremental syncing. Depending on your needs, you can backfill orders, fulfillments, and transactions to ensure historical reporting remains intact.
Yes, there are rate limits for API calls. If you hit a limit, implement exponential backoff and retries, and consider batching requests where possible.
Errors are surfaced with detailed messages. Retries are automatic in many cases. For persistent errors, consult logs, verify authentication, and retry from a clean state.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
