Engine API Reference

Integrate the self-hosted PackCPQ calculation core directly with your in-house ERP, CRM, and CAD schedulers.

Restricted Documentation

To protect the calculation engine's proprietary folding math and algorithms, detailed schema properties, gRPC Protobuf files, SDK code, and integration sandboxes are restricted. They are available exclusively to licensed clients via the system's administration panel.
