Who is this for?

  • HR & onboarding platforms — trigger badge orders when a new hire is added
  • Event & membership systems — issue attendee or member badges from registration data
  • Custom portals — let customers or partners order badges from your own UI
  • High-volume programs — replace one-by-one design with template-driven automation

Getting started (no account yet?)

You will need a free QuickIDCard account to create API keys and enable templates. Follow these steps once you are ready to build.

  1. Create your QuickIDCard account

    Sign up for a free account — there is no setup fee and no minimum order. Your account is where you manage API keys, badge templates, and field mappings.

  2. Design your API badge templates

    In the online badge creator, design and save the card layouts you want to automate. Each saved template acts as a source template — every API call copies it and applies the field values you send. Plan for long names, portrait photos, and one template per role or layout.

  3. Create API keys and map template fields

    After signing in, open My Account → API Integration. Generate a test key first, then assign API label IDs to each text and image layer on your templates and enable them for API use.

  4. Review the API documentation

    The full endpoint reference, request formats, and OpenAPI specification are available in your account after sign-in.

  5. Test your integration

    Using your test API key, walk through the typical flow:

    1. GET /api/v2/health — confirm your key works
    2. GET /api/v2/templates — list API-enabled templates
    3. POST /api/v2/badges — create a customized badge instance
    4. POST /api/v2/orders/quote — preview pricing
    5. POST /api/v2/orders — place an order (test keys return mock responses)

  6. Go live

    Switch to a production API key and repeat the same flow. Use the Idempotency-Key header when creating orders to safely retry requests. Every live order is reviewed by our team before printing to ensure text fit, portrait placement, and print quality.

Prefer a hands-on workflow?

If you do not need automation yet, you can still design badges online, upload your own artwork, or use our free batch processing for 25+ badges from a spreadsheet.
