First things first

If you need to create and use this API it means your client (a business you deliver for) have their own website with e-commerce.

What does the API do?

It allows for deliveries placed on a third-party website to be sent directly to the Store account on your CoopCycle instance.

These purchases (deliveries) will show up under your client’s Store account.

Create the API keys

Before creating the keys (Identifier and Secret key) you need to create a Store for that business. A pair of API keys are created for each individual Store.

On the API main page a list of all create API keys will be displayed.

1. Click the Add button to create an API key
2. Give your API key pair an easily indentifable name under App name
3. Choose the Store under Store
4. Click Save

After you’ve created the keys, you will be automatically directed to the API main page.

Use the API keys

⚠️ Only share the API with the developer of your client's website who will set up the CoopCycle plugin.

Use the Copy button for each key and send them securely to the person who will configure the plugin.
