Checkout and provisioning

Provision eSIM profiles from your checkout without double-charging on retries.

Charge customers in your own checkout flow while funding carrier provisioning from your Bird organization wallet. Because carrier profile allocation runs asynchronously, Bird tracks the order state from funding through fulfillment so users can close their browser and return to a ready eSIM.

Lock in quotes before charging

Fetch the live price, coverage terms, and country identification rules before your customer pays. Passing the accepted quote revision with the order blocks unexpected price changes at checkout, and recurring plans surface their renewal schedule upfront.

Prevent duplicate orders on flaky connections

Travelers often buy data on airport Wi-Fi or unstable connections. Attach an idempotency key to the order request and check the existing order ID when a response drops, so a network retry resumes the original purchase instead of creating a second charge.

Hosted installation and usage

Deliver private setup links and live usage without building an installation flow.

Once an eSIM is provisioned, generate a hosted setup link or send it straight to the traveler by email or SMS. Customers get QR codes and guided iOS or Android installation steps with no workspace login required, while your team tracks message delivery separately from device installation and first data use.

Protect activation credentials and revoke stray links

Installation credentials sit behind dedicated API permissions so general order-read keys cannot expose raw activation codes. If a setup link goes to the wrong email address or phone number, check its expiry and revoke the URL to block future access without cutting off an already installed profile.

Display remaining data with carrier timestamps

Surface a customer's total data allowance, package expiration date, and reported consumption right inside your app. Because mobile networks report usage on a delay, Bird includes the exact observation timestamp so customers and support agents can tell a fresh balance reading apart from pending telemetry.

Top-ups and renewals

Top up active lines and schedule renewals without a second install.

When travelers run low on data mid-trip, query the offers compatible with their installed eSIM profile before showing checkout options. Purchasing a compatible top-up attaches the new data package directly to the line already active on their phone, skipping another QR scan or cellular settings change.

Automate recurring plans for longer trips or teams

For offers that support automatic renewal, assign the subscriber and accept the recurring price and billing cadence at checkout. You can track wallet funding and package delivery across billing cycles, and cancel upcoming renewals when a trip wraps up while leaving the current period's data active.

Map lines to your own user and employee accounts

Keep your Bird API key on the server and bind each order and eSIM ID to the signed-in user in your database. Your app stays in control of authentication, pricing markup, and support workflows while Bird manages carrier provisioning underneath.

eSIM API questions

What can I build with the eSIM API?
Build offer discovery, data-package purchases, installation delivery and ongoing package management into your app. Customers can buy compatible top-ups and enroll in recurring purchases where available. Your application owns customer authentication and any payment it collects from them.
What do I need to make a purchase?
Use a Bird workspace, a server-side API key with the required eSIM permissions and organization wallet funds. Review the offer, checkout terms and identification requirements before buying. Reading credentials and creating or sending installation links require separate credential permissions.
How should I handle an interrupted purchase response?
Read the existing order if you have its ID. Otherwise, repeat the saved create request with its original idempotency key. Follow that order to completion or failure before creating a replacement that could cause another charge.
Does a completed order mean the customer is online?
A completed order identifies the purchased eSIM and package. The customer still needs to install the profile on a compatible device and test mobile data in a covered destination. Installation and balance reports can arrive after the device result.
