1WorldSync Kroger API Initiative
Welcome to the Kroger API Community space, designed to help you find all of the information you need about the Kroger API. The Kroger API (Application Programming Interface) provides you with a new way to sync your product content with Kroger. The Kroger API provides a more direct communication channel to help you get your product content to .com more quickly and efficiently.

Information Providers can utilize Item Management as the interface with the Kroger API. Users can manage content in one application once the transition from VIP to IM is complete.

Get Started with Kroger API

1WorldSync will work with you to migrate your existing VIP content to Item Management at no additional cost. We highly encourage you to register for one of the 1WorldSync Kroger Item API Kickoff Webinars.
