How We Help

For Hospitality & Tourism and Retail & E-commerce businesses across Australia, the disconnect between Deputy and eBay is a daily frustration. Our custom integration bridges your accounting & finance and e-commerce systems, ensuring employees and shifts flow seamlessly without manual intervention. On the technical side, Deputy uses a REST + Webhook API with OAuth authentication, and eBay authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.
