Integrations

Don't code?

Connect InstantCard to the apps your team already uses with Zapier. When a new hire lands in your HR system or a row lands in a spreadsheet, a card gets made and sent to print. Or share an ICO order form, and each person adds their own details and photo.

Build your own.

Our REST API creates cards from your templates, gives you a preview, and submits print jobs when you are ready. Nothing prints or charges until you submit a job.
