AmeriCommerce API Connection
Section titled “AmeriCommerce API Connection”A valid AmeriCommerce API connection gives Next-Cart the authorized platform access required by the selected migration path.
The goal is to create or locate an access token that allows Next-Cart to test access to the selected AmeriCommerce store.
When to use this guide
Section titled “When to use this guide”Use this guide when:
- the selected platform is AmeriCommerce;
- Next-Cart asks for API connection details;
- you can access the AmeriCommerce admin;
- you can create or manage API apps and integrations.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”| Requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Admin access | You need to create an API app or integration. |
| Permission to manage apps and integrations | The Access Token is generated from the app or API integration area. |
| Migration scope | Permissions should cover the data types you need to migrate. |
| Secure storage | Copy the token directly into Next-Cart and avoid sharing it through insecure channels. |
Required values
Section titled “Required values”| Value | Where to find it | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Store URL | AmeriCommerce store URL. | Use the exact store connected to the migration path. |
| Access Token | API Apps & Integrations area after the app is created. | Copy it immediately and store it securely. |
Create an Access Token
Section titled “Create an Access Token”- Sign in to the AmeriCommerce admin.
- Go to Tools.
- Open Apps & Addons.
- Open API Apps & Integrations.
- Create a new API app.
