Application APIs
Application APIs let the merchant connect other systems to their store. An API application is a set of credentials that identifies the connecting system, so that an ERP, accounting package, stock system or custom integration can read and update store data securely.
Each application is tied to a store and has a type that reflects what it is being used for.
Setting Up an Application
Store - the store the application may access.
Name - a name identifying what the application is for, such as the system it connects.
Application Type - the kind of application being connected.
How to Add an Application API
Click on System at the bottom of the left-hand menu
Click on Application APIs
Create a new application
Select the store and give the application a name
Choose the application type
Save your changes
API credentials give another system access to store data. Share them only with the system they were created for, and create a separate application per integration so that access can be withdrawn individually.
