Steps to take
- Code and test your application using your sandbox file.
- Once you’re ready to go live.
- Sign in and go to Manage Subscription from My Saasu.
- Setup/invite a new user for live web service API access. Make sure you tick the check-box that says “This user has permission to connect via web services key”. Once you click save, you can copy & paste the web service key to your application. You need to be on a plan that includes API access to be able to do this.
- Open the file that you want to allow the api to connect to.
- Tick the check-box that says “Allow access to this File via web services”.
- Ensure you give the API user access to this file.
- Click save, and copy and paste the file uid shown next to the check-box to your application.
- Ensure you workflow and development don’t breach PCI DSS compliance if you plan to process credit cards. Saasu isn’t responsible for what you do with this open source code as we have no control over it’s use.
Any problems or issues then Saasu Labs is only a help ticket away.

SaaS ecosystem
As a software developer, you want to deliver great solutions. Saasu development partners are able to contribute to and directly benefit from the core of our mission. We aim to simplify life for business owners and individuals looking for financial success. Developer Central is here to provide developers, partners and Saasu labs a way to work together in a globally coordinated and innovative way. Our community catches up every now and then to cover the hot topics. Meet other key players in the SaaS industry.
What Is The SaaS Ecosystem?
SaaS stands for software-as-a-service, it means instead of buying, installing, upgrading and otherwise managing your business system, it is delivered purely online via the internet.
The SaaS Ecosystem is a collection of SaaS systems – particularly business systems – that talk to each other.
Of course they don’t talk like humans but they do talk – using web based languages or protocols also referred to as web services.
What Is Saasu Doing In The SaaS Ecosystem ?
We aim to enable it even more. To be an anchor point in SaaS.
We are already an important part of the SaaS ecosystem because we hold key business and accounting information for thousands of businesses and have done for many years. Today this is even more important because the power of other complementary businesses can leverage our skills and we can leverage theirs by having our systems talk to each other.
This means our mutual clients get more features and more benefits today.
We have three types of work in this area -
- Public – these are product features that have been finished and are released to clients, search our blog for ’salesforce.com’ or ‘88miles.net’ or ‘campaigmonitor.com’ and you will get a taste for how we can talk to those services today.
- Semi-public – these area new product features in the saasu labs that we are developing or going into beta testing
- Confidential – these are strategic developments that we are not prepared to discuss just yet but we are accepting new proposals from global 100% pure SaaS providers of horizontal services.
We will be launching a more cohesive service for helping you manage your SaaS relationships under the saasecosystem.com brand in the future too.
We will also be enabling more automated inter-company commerce with full accounting support. Pre-registrations for this are now open, please contact us if you are interested.
Ecosystem Principles and Code of Conduct
We are developing a set of industry principles to protect clients and vendors alike. If you would like to make submissions as a client or vendor please contact us.
