Most Drupal integration work is the same job wearing different logos. Your content lives in Drupal, your customers live in a CRM, your orders live in an ERP or a payment processor, and someone is copying data between them by hand. We write the module that does it for them.
The search results for “Drupal integration” are a mess, because the word means two things. Half are about services.yml and dependency injection, which is internal Drupal plumbing. We mean the other half: connecting your Drupal site to an outside system through its API. That is the work this page is about.
We have built these on Drupal 9 and 10, and we are shipping on 11 now. If you are still on Drupal 7, we will do the integration as part of a migration rather than bolt new code onto a platform that lost support in January 2025.
What a Drupal integration includes
Every integration is scoped to one external system and the data that moves between it and Drupal. Here is what we check and build on a typical job.
- API review of the target system: auth method, rate limits, sandbox access, and how stable their API actually is
- A custom Drupal module, version-controlled, not a one-off snippet pasted into the theme
- Field mapping between Drupal entities and the external records, written down and agreed before we build
- Authentication handled properly: OAuth, API keys, or tokens stored in Drupal's key system, never hardcoded
- Error handling and retries, so a 30-second outage on their end does not lose your data
- Queue workers for anything slow, so your editors are not staring at a spinner
- Logging you can actually read when something goes wrong at 2am
- A staging run against the sandbox API before anything touches production
- CRM, ERP, payment gateway, marketing platform, or a plain REST or GraphQL endpoint: if it has an API, we can usually reach it
What you get at handover
You walk away owning the integration. The module is yours, the docs explain it, and nothing is locked to us.
The Drupal module
Installed, configured, and committed to your repo. Composer-managed where it should be.
Field-mapping document
Which Drupal field maps to which remote field, and what happens on conflict. Plain language.
Runbook
How to read the logs, re-run a failed sync, and rotate the API keys. Hand it to any developer.
Staging-to-production checklist
The exact steps we used, so the next deploy is not a guess.
Two weeks of bug cover
If the integration misbehaves on our code within 14 days, we fix it free.
Four steps, two weeks for most jobs
A single integration runs about 5 to 10 business days, depending mostly on how cooperative the other system's API is.
Scope call and API check
We read the target API docs, confirm sandbox access, and write the field map. If their API cannot do what you need, you find out now, not in week two.
2–3 business daysBuild against sandbox
We write the module and test it against the sandbox or a test account. No production data involved yet.
3–5 business daysStaging run
We point it at a copy of your site and run real records through. You watch the data land where it should.
1–2 business daysGo live and handover
We deploy, monitor the first live syncs, and hand you the runbook and docs.
1 business dayPriced per integration, not per hour
A single integration to one external system starts at $490. That covers the API review, the module, error handling, and the handover docs. Most CRM, payment, or REST-endpoint jobs land here.
If you are connecting several systems at once, or you need two-way sync with conflict rules, the bundle price is $1,290 and covers up to three integrations built together. Building them as a set is cheaper than three separate jobs because the auth and logging scaffolding gets shared.
Not sure the other system has a usable API?
Send us the name of the platform and we will check its API before quoting. Some vendors advertise an API that turns out to be read-only, or rate-limited to the point of uselessness. We would rather tell you that upfront than take the job and hit the wall in week two. If there is genuinely no API, sometimes a scheduled CSV export is the honest answer, and we will set that up instead.

What we build with
How this connects to the rest of your stack
This is the Drupal corner of our wider website integrations work, which covers the same job on other platforms. If you run Drupal for the content but sell through another system, our WordPress integrations and OpenCart integrations pages cover those. For the platform itself, start with our Drupal support overview. And if the integration is going to handle customer or payment data, it is worth reading our Drupal security work before you connect anything sensitive.
Need integrations for Drupal sorted?
We'll triage the same day. Send context, screenshots, error messages — whatever you have. No sales calls, no chatbots.
