Integration Guides

The ReadyGolf platform provides comprehensive integration capabilities with third-party systems and services. These integration guides help developers and system administrators connect ReadyGolf with existing business systems, payment processors, and external services.

🎯 Integration Overview

ReadyGolf's integration framework enables seamless connectivity with external systems while maintaining data security and operational efficiency. The platform supports various integration methods including APIs, webhooks, and standard data exchange formats.

Integration Types

API Integrations: RESTful API connections for real-time data exchange
Webhook Integrations: Event-driven notifications and data synchronisation
Database Integrations: Direct database connections for data migration
File-based Integrations: CSV, JSON, and XML file exchange
Real-time Integrations: WebSocket and streaming data connections

// Stripe configuration
const stripeConfig = {
  publishableKey: 'pk_test_...',
  secretKey: 'sk_test_...',
  webhookSecret: 'whsec_...',
  currency: 'GBP',
  paymentMethods: ['card', 'bank_transfer']
};

Payment Processing

// Create payment intent
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
  amount: 7500, // Amount in pence
  currency: 'gbp',
  customer: customerId,
  metadata: {
    booking_id: 'booking_123',
    member_id: 'member_456'
  }
});

// Handle payment confirmation
app.post('/webhooks/stripe', async (req, res) => {
  const event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(
    req.body,
    req.headers['stripe-signature'],
    webhookSecret
  );

  switch (event.type) {
    case 'payment_intent.succeeded':
      await handlePaymentSuccess(event.data.object);
      break;
    case 'payment_intent.payment_failed':
      await handlePaymentFailure(event.data.object);
      break;
  }
});

payment_intent.payment_failed - Payment failed
customer.subscription.created - Subscription created
customer.subscription.updated - Subscription updated
customer.subscription.deleted - Subscription cancelled

    checkDatabaseConnection(),
    checkWebhookDelivery(),
    checkPaymentProcessing()
  ];

  const results = await Promise.allSettled(checks);
  const healthStatus = results.every(result => result.status === 'fulfilled');

  if (!healthStatus) {
    await sendAlert('Integration health check failed');
  }

  return healthStatus;
};

// Performance monitoring
const monitorIntegrationPerformance = async () => {
  const metrics = {
    api_response_time: await measureAPIResponseTime(),
    webhook_delivery_rate: await measureWebhookDeliveryRate(),
