# GoDaddy Poynt SDKs

The GoDaddy Poynt development environment is equipped with a number of resources that make it easier for developers to create comprehensive solutions and integrate with different services on the cloud.

Poynt SDK (Software Development Kit) is a set of tools to facilitate the development of applications on the PoyntOS platform. SDKs are strictly related to the latest version of PoyntOS, and they allow developers to code numerous elements into their applications.

# GoDaddy Poynt APIs

GoDaddy Poynt APIs (opens new window) (Application Programming Interface) are the mechanisms we use to allow communication between software components.

All of GoDaddy Poynt's APIs are created using common RESTful design patterns that are highly accessible through standard HTTP semantics. Below are some of the examples of API implementations using different technologies:

• Java Cloud API SDK (opens new window)
• Node.js (opens new window)
• Python (opens new window)

# Developer Kit

We know that UX/UI elements are very important for app developers. For this reason, we highly encourage ordering a Developer Kit, which includes a fully functional and merchant-ready Smart Terminal that allows you to get a first-hand consumer/merchant perspective.

You can purchase the developer kit in the Developers (opens new window) section of our website by clicking Order Dev Kit. This button will open a form where you can select the specific device you wish to purchase and provide your information for shipping.

You can also place an order for a developer kit on the Dev Resouces section in the developer center (opens new window).

# Configuration

Smart Terminals are designed specifically for GoDaddy Poynt merchants. However, developer kits now come with a developer mode configured out-of-the-box for your device.

The developer mode is considered a mock environment, which won't allow real transactions. However, it provides a very close experience that can help you understand transactions and create the right components.

# GoDaddy Poynt Emulator

The GoDaddy Poynt emulator is a developer version of PoyntOS that can be used on an Android emulator. This resource was designed to help developers create, test, and analyze their applications without needing a physical smart terminal. It also allows you to access several functionalities, default applications, transactional data, and customer data from the terminal.

Keep in mind that features that rely on a physical device such as card reading and second-screen input are not supported. You can also execute the emulator from any 7" tablet as long as your coding is coming from a multi-screen resolution.

If you wish to download and set up a GoDaddy Poynt emulator in your device, you can refer to the emulator setup section for more information.
