First, go to the Account Manager page (https://account.demandware.com/dw/account/Home), generate dw_client_id (Client Id) and dw_api_pass (Api Password).

Then, add permissions for API2Cart API, so that our API could retrieve data from the store. Go to your Admin panel: Administration > Open Commerce API Setting > Select type: Shop & Data > Select context: Global

Then, specify client application-specific configurations:

Global permissions

       {
          "client_id":"YOUR_CLIENT_ID",

To upload the bridge to Magento Commerce stores and make it available on the URL, the store developer should do the following steps:

1) Add the bridge folder to the project root directory via GIT:

2) Edit the file .magento.app.yaml:

Add the following configurations:

"/bridge2cart":

root: "/"

passthru: "/bridge.php"

index:

bridge.php

expires: -1

scripts: true

allow: true

3) Push changes to the repository and merge them to master.

1) First, make cart.create request:
http://api.api2cart.local/v1.0/cart.create.json
with the following parameters:

• walmart_consumer_id

where Api_key is your API key, cart_id is Walmart.

store admin panel → Settings → Consumer IDs & Private Keys.

• 1. walmart_consumer_id
• 2. walmart_private_key

0) Note: If you are trying to connect another marketplace (not Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, Amazon.com.mx) or you need to get customer's personal info (name, address etc.) you must register your developer:

• 1. Go to the User Permissions page in Seller Central and log into your Amazon seller account as the primary user.
• 2. In the Amazon MWS Developer Permissions section, click the Register as a developer button.
• 3. Fill out the Register as a developer form.

Be sure to click the Verify button to verify email addresses that you enter.

• 4. Click the Sign up button.
• 5. Your Developer ID appears.
• 6. Click Your developer credentials.

Your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Key appear.

1) The seller goes to the User Permissions page in Seller Central and logs into their Amazon seller account as the primary user.

2) The seller clicks the Authorize a developer button. In the Developer name text box, the seller enters the name of the developer that they are authorizing. This doesn't need to be the exact name; it is merely for the seller's reference in the future. Example: API2Cart.

3) In the Developer ID text box, the seller enters the Developer ID: 0677-7064-4291 (or your Developer ID obtained in paragraph 0) and then clicks the Authorize developer button.

4) The seller's MWS Auth Token appears.

5) Add Amazon store in your API2Cart account. (If you were doing the paragraph 0, you need to insert the last two parameters)

To connect Etsy account to API2Cart you’ll need to either:

• - create an application with marketplace-wide access (needs to go through approval process by Etsy);
• - or create private application that will have access to a single store data only.
• Both could be done via link below:

https://www.etsy.com/developers/register

Once you register an account and you will receive following credentials for your app:

KEYSTRING

SHARED SECRET

2. Perform GET request to https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/oauth/request_token Using Oauth 1.0 authorization

Consumer Key - KEYSTRING from step 1

Consumer Secret - SHARED SECRET from step 1

Response body will look like “login_url=URL”

You should urldecode URL and provide it to the account owner.

3. Account owner follows URL, confirms application access to the account and receives VERIFICATION CODE.

4. Perform GET request to https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/oauth/access_token?oauth_verifier=VERIFICATION CODE

Using Oauth 1.0 authorization

Consumer Key - KEYSTRING from step 1

Consumer Secret - SHARED SECRET from step 1

Access Token=(oauth_token from URL from step 2)

Token Secret=(oauth_token_secret from URL from step 2)

Response should look like

oauth_token=<ACCESS TOKEN>&oauth_token_secret=<TOKEN SECRET>

5. Finally you can connect Etsy store in your API2Cart account using the following parameters: KeyString - KEYSTRING from step 1

Shared Secret - SHARED SECRET from step 1

Access Token - ACCESS TOKEN from step 4

Secret Token - TOKEN SECRET from step 4

In order to see all additional parameters that are unique for your shopping cart, call product.list API method with the params=force_all parameter. Or set the necessary fields separated by comma in parameter "params" (params=length,depth).

• Call cart_bridge method from which you could get store_key.
• Call bridge_download method and pass store_key which was generated in cart_bridge.
• Upload the bridge to the root ftp server folder.
• Call cart_create method and paste previously generated store_url.

In most cases the system automatically defines the prefix of specific shopping cart and uses it. However if you have several shopping carts of one type, the automatic defining will not work. In this case you should use the method cart.create and define the prefix of your shopping cart with a parameter db_tables_prefix.

The process of connecting the store to API2Cart depends on the type of shopping cart. There are two major types: Hosted (3dcart, Volusion, Shopify) and Open-source (PrestaShop, WooCommerce, OpenCart, etc.) Get the type of carts here.

For Hosted Carts

You are able to add your stores in 2 ways:

1. Through the interface in your account. Simply press ‘Add store button’, paste your store’s URL, select type, valid API key and API password. (Read our FAQ on how to get API Key and Token from your API based shopping cart)
2. By calling cart.create method.  In order to add store correctly, provide all necessary parameters that are described in documentation.

public function apiCreate()
{
  $params = array(
    'cart_id'      => 'BigcommerceApi',
    'store_url'    => 'http://example.com',
    'verify'       => 'false',//set this param=false for test only
    'store_key'    => 'ab37fc230bc5df63a5be1b11220949be',//for self-hosted cart only
