HL Connect

Overview

HL Connect allows you to sell Hal Leonard digital products directly through your own online store. It provides APIs and SDKs to integrate product data and handle purchase fulfillment in a reliable and scalable way.

How It Works

1. Existing Store
   You must have a working online store where customers can browse and purchase products.
2. Catalog Integration
   Use the HL Connect API or SDK to import the HL product catalog (metadata only) into your store.
3. Selling Products
   Display and sell HL digital products directly on your website as part of your existing catalog.
4. Purchase & Fulfillment
   After a customer completes a purchase, your backend sends a request to HL Connect. In response, you receive a secure link that you provide to the customer to access or download the product.
