Overview
This section outlines Slicks key concepts and data types.
We've tried to use simple language that will be familiar for most folks, but we're always open to feedback.
Concepts
What is a Provider?
Your company = Provider
Every Slick customer is issued a unique Provider ID.
What is a business?
Your customers = Business
Each one of your customers is referred to as a business. Whether they are a sole proprietor or incorporated company.
Each business will have a unique ID.
The Slick x-business-id header is used when a Provider wants to perform an operation on behalf of one of its Business accounts.
It contains the Businesses ID which returned when creating the Business, or when retrieving all of the Providers Businesses. Note that most operations are not permitted without the presence of this header.
What is a contact?
Your customer's customer or supplier = Contact
What is a user?
Your customer's employees = User
