While ScoutIQ offers wholesale integrations with select partners, ThriftBooks does not currently allow third-party access to their API. Translation: we can’t build a native integration.
But good news—you can still access ThriftBooks quickly while scouting by adding it as a Custom Link. It’s a simple setup, and once it’s in place, ThriftBooks is just a tap away.
Let’s walk through it.
Step 1: Navigate to Settings
First, head to the Settings tab in the app.
