Master Inventory Management with API
How to design product, inventory, stock adjustment, and reporting screens against the NoPOS REST catalog.

Developer Relations
The NoPOS developer relations team writes practical guides for building on the NoPOS REST API — from first smoke test to production POS.
Inventory screens should make stock state obvious and hard to corrupt. Start with the catalog endpoints, then add inventory-specific workflows from the OpenAPI reference.
Suggested screens
- Product list with SKU, name, and active/archive state.
- Product detail with stock information and recent movement.
- Stock adjustment form with reason codes.
- Low-stock review queue.
- Export or reporting view for operations.
Integration rules
- Verify the API key before loading stock data.
- Keep mutations server-side.
- Confirm every adjustment with a success state.
- Log failed updates with enough detail to retry.
Use the developer portal's endpoint reference for the current inventory routes and payloads.
