Tabs Connection Setup

Overview

A Tabs connection in Flexprice enables you to:

Sync invoices - Flexprice pushes invoices to Tabs automatically as they are generated
Create customers and contracts - Flexprice provisions the matching customer and contract in Tabs whenever they are needed
Centralize collection - invoices are created in Tabs as editable drafts, ready for review before collection

Flexprice pushes invoices to Tabs. This integration does not require any webhook configuration.

Prerequisites

Before you start, have:

Tabs account - tabsplatform.com
Flexprice account - flexprice.io

Keys you need

Key	Where to get it	What it’s for
API Key	Tabs → Developers → Add API key → set access level to Editor (full access)	Authenticating all Tabs API calls from Flexprice

Flexprice creates customers, contracts, and invoices in Tabs, so the API key must have write access. Select Editor (full access) when creating the key. A Reporter (read-only) key cannot sync invoices.

Open the Tabs Developer keys page

In Tabs, go to Developers (app.tabsplatform.com/merchant/developers) and click Add API key.

Create the key

Enter a name (e.g. FlexpriceKey), set Access Level to Editor (full access), and create the key.

Copy the key

Copy the generated API key. You will paste it into Flexprice in the next step.

Connect your Tabs account

Go to Flexprice Dashboard → Integrations → Tabs → Connect.

Name your connection

Enter a name to identify this connection, e.g. tabs.

Enter your API Key

Paste the API key copied from Tabs.

Enable Invoice Sync

Under Sync Configuration, toggle Invoices on to push invoices to Tabs. With this off, invoices stay only in Flexprice.

Create the connection

Click Create Connection.

Create the connection via API

You can also create the connection through the API instead of the dashboard:

cURL

curl --location 'https://api.cloud.flexprice.io/v1/connections' \
--header 'x-api-key: your_flexprice_api_key' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "name": "My Tabs Connection",
    "provider_type": "tabs",
    "encrypted_secret_data": {
        "api_key": "api_key_from_tabs"
    },
    "sync_config": {
        "invoice": {
            "outbound": true
        }
    }
}'

Field	Description
`name`	A friendly name to identify this connection
`provider_type`	Always `tabs`
`encrypted_secret_data.api_key`	The API key generated in Tabs
`sync_config.invoice.outbound`	Set to `true` to push invoices to Tabs

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
Invoice not syncing to Tabs	Invoice sync toggle is off	Enable Invoices sync in the connection settings
Authentication fails	Read-only API key	Recreate the key in Tabs with Editor (full access)
Sync fails - customer error	Customer is missing required details	Add the missing details to the customer in Flexprice and re-sync

Next Steps
