Turn Sysco Shop into an API

Read your past orders and delivery status in Sysco Shop, and your invoices in Sysco Pay, with one API call each. Or have a workflow check each Ship-To account every week and hand new invoices to accounting.

Works with your own Sysco Shop account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate Sysco Shop 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.

  • Morning delivery check for every location

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 6:00
    Step 1
    For each account you name, check the delivery status in Sysco Shop.
    Step 2
    Keep the accounts with a delivery due today.
    Step 3
    Email you each one's order number, delivery status and items.
  • New Sysco Pay invoices, handed to accounting

    Build this

    Step 3
    Post each one, with its number, date, due date and amount, to your accounting system's webhook.
  • Weekly purchasing summary from past orders

    Build this
    Starts
    Every Sunday at 20:00

    Step 3
    Email you the summary, one section per account.

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 past orders” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "shop.sysco.com/get_past_orders",
    "input": {
      "account": "067-482913",
      "ordered_since": "2026-11-02"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "account": "067-482913",
    "account_name": "Northwind Bistro",
    "orders": [
      {
        "order_number": "W4819275",
        "order_date": "2026-11-09",
        "delivery_date": "2026-11-11",
        "status": "Delivered",
        "items": [
          "4 CS of Chicken breast, boneless, 6 oz (5839201)"
        ],
        "total": 412.36,
        "currency": "USD"
      }
    ],
    "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.

Sysco Shop’s own options

Sysco runs a developer portal for its APIs, but its Get Started, Guides and FAQs pages open only after you sign in, and its public pages do not say how a Shop customer gets access. Sysco also serves EDI direct customers. Invoices, credit memos and statements are in Sysco Pay, which can email you monthly statements.

Signing in to Sysco Shop

Sysco Shop asks for your email address, then your password. Every 7 days Sysco asks for a 6-digit code by text or email, or from Google or Microsoft Authenticator; this can be turned off for some Sysco applications, not for Sysco Pay. With Fous you sign in once with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and when your code comes by email that step is handled and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

A verification code every 7 days
Sysco asks for multi-factor verification every 7 days and again on a new device. You pick the method: text message, email or an authenticator app. Choose email for a login that a method uses.
One login for Shop, Pay and Portal
Sysco Pay uses the same credentials as Shop, Portal and Delivery. In Pay you select the Bill-To and Ship-To accounts before the Account Dashboard shows anything, so an invoice method takes both.
Roles decide what a Sysco Pay login can do
Only Account Leads and Payers can add payment methods. A View Only user cannot add or remove users or add a payment method, which suits a login used only for reading.
Access comes from your Sysco associate
Sysco Shop has no self-registration: your Sysco associate sets up access. Shop Web is optimized for computers, and offline ordering exists only in the mobile app.
