  Order number, submitted by, vendor, submitted date, fulfillment, items, quantities, payment method

  Order number, status, items added, items not available, pickup or delivery date

Automate LOOP with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Orders still Pending Approval, every LID

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00 Eastern Time

  Step 1

  For each LID you name, list the orders waiting in Order Approvals.

  Step 2

  Stop when no LID has an order waiting.

  Step 3

  Email you the list, one section per LID, with each order's items and fulfillment.

• Last week's LOOP orders, handed to accounting

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 7:00 Eastern Time

  Step 1

  For each LID, get the order history for the last 7 days.

  Step 2

  Keep the orders that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each order, with its items and quantities, to your accounting system's webhook.

• Out-of-stock items on your usual order

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 6:30 Eastern Time

  Step 1

  Check stock for your list of PLCB item numbers at your store or Licensee Service Center.

  Step 2

  Keep the items shown as out of stock.

  Step 3

  Email you those items before anyone builds the day's order.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get order history” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "lcbloop.com/get_order_history",
    "input": {
      "lid": "LID-48213",
      "placed_since": "2026-11-02"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "lid": "LID-48213",
    "orders": [
      {
        "order_number": "LP-2093381",
        "placed_date": "2026-11-09",
        "status": "Pending Approval",
        "fulfillment_type": "LDP",
        "location": null,
        "delivery_date": "2026-11-13",
        "items": [
          {
            "plcb_item_number": "000004521",
            "name": "Acme Reserve Bourbon 750ML",
            "quantity": 24
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

LOOP’s own options

The PLCB does not document an API for LOOP. Licensees place and approve orders in the website, where a large order can be uploaded as a two-column CSV or Excel file. The board publishes its wholesale catalogs as Excel downloads, and order, invoice and return history stays in LOOP for up to two years.

Signing in to LOOP

LOOP signs you in with your email address and password, and passwords expire. If you registered several LIDs with the same email address, one sign-in shows them all. With Fous you sign in once through LOOP's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Every order waits for an Approver

A placed order goes to Pending Approval until a Licensee Approver or Admin approves it. Special Orders entered by an authorized vendor also wait for you to approve them and choose the payment method.

No changes after submitting

LOOP allows no edits to a submitted order: you cancel it and submit again. Pickup orders can be canceled until picking has begun, and LDP orders until 1:00 PM ET two business days before delivery.

Item codes depend on how you order

You order units by the PLCB item number and cases by the manufacturer's SCC/GTIN. Search uses the SKU/PLCB item number for store and LSC pickup and the SCC for LDP.

Store pickups are paid at the store

Online payment in LOOP covers only LDP, Licensee Service Center pickup and Special Orders. An order picked up at a Fine Wine & Good Spirits store is paid there at pickup.
