Kroger

Add Kroger to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.

Embed a Kroger integration so your customers can search grocery product data and store locations from inside your product using their own developer credentials, rather than you holding a shared key. fastn handles per-customer credentials, token refresh, pagination and API upkeep, so catalogue and location lookups are configuration per tenant, and reads are throttled so a bulk lookup does not exhaust a customer's allowance.

In your product

Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.

Let customers connect their own Kroger developer credentials so catalogue reads run on their account, not a shared key.

Search the product catalogue and read the item details your product needs to display.

Look up store locations so your product shows the right store for a customer's area.

Read item data for a chosen location so your product is not working from a stale catalogue.

For your AI agents

Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.

An agent searches the catalogue to answer a question about an item.

An agent finds the nearest locations before recommending where to shop.

Every lookup runs under the customer's own credentials and is logged per tenant.

Example prompt

Find items matching this shopping list at the nearest store and tell me which ones came back with no match.

Set up Kroger in 4 steps

  1. 01Open the Kroger connector from your fastn dashboard.
  2. 02Have each customer authenticate with their own Kroger developer credentials.
  3. 03Map the product and location fields your product uses, then enable actions.
  4. 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.

Why teams use the Kroger integration

What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.

  • Ship a Kroger integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Kroger account inside your product and work their lookups, results and reports there, with no per-customer code on your side.
  • Handle the part that actually costs time: these are metered read sources, so an uncached lookup on every page view burns the customer's allowance. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Kroger update is not your on-call problem.
  • One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Kroger connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you answer questions from an authoritative outside source without holding that data yourself without wiring it twice.

Kroger integration FAQ

How do I add a Kroger integration to my product?

Enable the Kroger connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Kroger account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Kroger client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.

Do my customers each connect their own Kroger account?

Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Kroger account and only ever sees their own lookups, results and reports. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.

Can AI agents use this Kroger integration?

Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent searches the catalogue to answer a question about an item.

Who maintains the Kroger integration?

fastn does. When Kroger changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.

Whose credentials does a Kroger lookup run under?

Each customer's own. Quota and cost land on the customer that caused them rather than on a shared key you have to meter and re-bill, and one heavy customer cannot exhaust another's allowance.

How should Kroger results be cached?

Per tenant, with a window that matches how fast the underlying data actually moves. Kroger is a read source rather than a system of record, so the same query returns the same answer until the source changes, and caching is the difference between a sustainable integration and one that exhausts a customer's allowance on a busy page.

What can I build with the Kroger integration?

A common starting point: connect their own Kroger developer credentials so catalogue reads run on their account, not a shared key. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.

How much does the Kroger integration cost?

It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Kroger does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
