HOW TO USE THE ABC FINANCIALS INTEGRATION

Connect Fisikal and ABC Financials to share member data

ABC Financials is a membership system that can be used with Fisikal to synchronise client and door access data. Most commonly this is to allow the integration with the Egym BMA to operate effectively.

 

The ABC Financials API access is through a billable API. The more frequently it is called, and the more information it responds with increases the cost of using it.

Please discuss this with your ABC Financials before switching it on.

 

Pre-requisites

Before switching on the ABC Integration please obtain:

  • ABC App ID - This is usually specific to Fisikal
  • ABC App Key - This is usually specific to Fisikal
  • Permission from ABC Financials for the above App ID to use the required API endpoints for the Clubs in your business. These are the endpoints essential for the sync to function:
  • For each location in your club you must obtain the ABC Financials Club Number.

The above information is required to allow Fisikal to regularly sync data from ABC Financials.

  • The most common use case for the ABC Integration is to allow the Egym BMA Integration to function. Please also review the requirements for that integration here: Egym BMA Integration
