LemonStand API Connection
Prepare LemonStand API connection values for a Next-Cart migration service when API setup is shown for LemonStand.
LemonStand API Connection
Section titled “LemonStand API Connection”A valid LemonStand API connection gives Next-Cart the authorized platform access required by the selected migration path.
Next-Cart may ask for your LemonStand store URL and API Token. Prepare these values from the LemonStand backend only when Next-Cart shows LemonStand API setup for the selected migration path.
When to use this guide
Section titled “When to use this guide”Use this guide when:
- LemonStand is the Source Platform in your selected migration path;
- Next-Cart shows LemonStand API setup;
- you still have access to the LemonStand backend and API key area.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”Before you begin, confirm that:
| Requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| LemonStand backend access | You need access to the store backend where API keys are managed. |
| Access to the correct store | The API Token must belong to the LemonStand store in the migration path. |
| Permission to create API keys | Your account must be allowed to create or view API keys. |
| Secure storage | The token should be stored securely until setup is complete. |
Required values
Section titled “Required values”| Required value | Where to prepare it | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Store URL | LemonStand store URL | Use the URL requested by Next-Cart. |
| API Token | API Keys section in the LemonStand backend | Copy the generated token exactly as shown. |
Prepare the API connection values
Section titled “Prepare the API connection values”- Sign in to the LemonStand backend.
- Confirm that the backend belongs to the store selected for the migration path.
- Open the Integrations menu.
- Open the API Keys section.
- Add a new API Key for the migration service.
- After the key is created, copy the API Token.
- Store the Store URL and API Token securely until you enter them in Next-Cart.
Enter the values in Next-Cart
Section titled “Enter the values in Next-Cart”In the Next-Cart connection setup screen for LemonStand, enter only the values requested by the interface.
| Next-Cart field | Platform value |
|---|---|
| Store URL | LemonStand store URL requested by Next-Cart. |
| API Token | API Token created in the API Keys section. |
Expected result
Section titled “Expected result”The LemonStand API connection values are ready to test in Next-Cart.
Verify the connection
Section titled “Verify the connection”| Check | Pass condition |
|---|---|
| Backend access | You can still access the LemonStand backend for the store. |
| Token completeness | The API Token is copied in full. |
| Store match | The token belongs to the store selected for the migration path. |
| Connection test | Next-Cart can authenticate and read supported LemonStand data. |
If the connection fails
Section titled “If the connection fails”| Issue | What to check |
|---|---|
| Backend unavailable | Contact support before continuing. The connection cannot be prepared without access or backup data. |
| Token rejected | Create a new API key and copy the token again. |
| Wrong store connected | Confirm the store URL and backend account before testing again. |
| Data preview fails | Confirm the store contains supported records and that the API key can read them. |
Security cleanup
Section titled “Security cleanup”After migration work is complete and verified:
- remove or revoke temporary API credentials where the platform provides that option;
- reduce access if a broader permission set was used only for migration work;
- remove copied credentials from insecure notes, tickets, chats, or shared files;
- review the store admin account used for API setup.
