Ideal Postcodes are in a partnership with MicroMkt.
Our partnership allows charities to add address search to the MicroMkt suite. This guide outlines how to integrate with MicroMkt and add Charity Licensing to your account.
Getting Started
To enable address search on MicroMkt suite you will need to create an API Key on Ideal Postcodes and add it to MicroMkt.
To continue using your key you will need to enable billing on Ideal Postcodes either with a charity or standard pay-as-you-go plan.
1. Create an API Key
a. Set up an account on Ideal Postcodes b. Once logged into your dashboard, you will be prompted to create your first API Key c. Copy the new API Key and pass it on to MicroMkt who will set up your integration
Your first Key comes with a test balance, so you can add it to MicroMkt and begin testing immediately. To go live, enable billing on your account.
2. Enable Billing
To take your key live, you will need to enable billing. Two billing methods are available to MicroMkt users.
The first is our standard pay-as-you-go billing. For this we recommend enabling automated top-ups.
The second is Charity Licensing. The majority of MicroMkt users are eligible for more cost effective licensing, however extra steps are involved. See the Charity Licensing section for instructions.
Charity Licensing
To qualify, your charity must be UK based, registered with the Charity Commission or a Community Interest Company, and have an annual income of £10 million or less.
