Zinc
The secret backbone of e-commerce.
Zinc is building the programmable commerce layer for the internet. Our API already enables tens of thousands of transactions each month, and our goal is much bigger: a world where any purchase online can be automated and integrated through a simple API. As commerce shifts to automation, AI, and agents — the purchasing layer of the internet will become essential infrastructure — which is what we're building at Zinc.
