Your Brand, Not Ours: White-Labeled Store Connection
Generate a connection plugin with your own name, description, and logo. Store owners install, click Connect, and never see “API2Cart” anywhere in the process.
Connecting an open-source store (Magento, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart) traditionally means asking the store owner for FTP credentials — something most merchants are, understandably, reluctant to hand over.
The Plugin Builder generates a connection plugin that installs the bridge automatically, with your branding throughout. Vendors do not need FTP access, and store owners never share it — it never leaves their own admin panel.
How Branded Plugin Works in API2Cart
- Customize plugin name, description, and logo before generating it
- Distribute it yourself — your website, or an app marketplace listing
- Store owner installs, clicks Connect, and a store_key is generated automatically
- For hosted platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce, Lightspeed), no bridge or FTP needed at all
Example request
{
"cart_id": "Magento2Api",
"store_key": "generated-when-owner-clicks-connect"
}
# The store owner never sees API2Cart — only your brand.

Frequently asked questions
The things people ask before using Branded Plugin.
Do I need to share FTP credentials?
No. The plugin installs the bridge itself, inside the store’s own admin — credentials never leave it.
Can I fully customize the plugin?
Yes — name, description, and logo are all yours before you generate and distribute it.
Does this work for hosted platforms too?
Yes. Shopify, BigCommerce, and Lightspeed use platform-specific auth instead of a bridge — no FTP either way.
How do I distribute the plugin?
Any way you like — a download link on your site, or a listing on the platform’s app marketplace.
Ship a connection experience that looks entirely like your own product.
