KWI
KWI is a retail technology company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Melville, New York, that delivers a cloud-based, unified commerce platform for specialty and department retailers. The platform combines an iOS mobile point-of-sale, merchandising and inventory optimization, order management with buy-anywhere / fulfill-from-anywhere fulfillment, CRM, clienteling and loyalty, the Snapshot real-time sales analytics application, and AI product image search, all operated as a SaaS managed service with helpdesk, hardware, and payments support. KWI describes an API layer in its platform architecture used to export data to third-party systems and channels --- CRMs, ERPs, SRPs, and supply chains --- alongside packaged connectors such as Shopify Connect and a Klaviyo connector. As of this profile KWI publishes no public developer portal, API reference, machine-readable specification, or SDKs; integration is delivered through its professional-services organization under customer contract.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles KWI the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — KWI scores 11.9/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile KWI
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for KWI. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
