Storeden API Connection
Prepare Storeden API Key and Exchange Key for a Next-Cart migration service when Storeden API setup is shown.
Storeden API Connection
Section titled “Storeden API Connection”A valid Storeden API connection gives Next-Cart the authorized platform access required by the selected migration path.
Next-Cart may ask for your Storeden API Key and Exchange Key. Prepare these values from the correct Storeden admin dashboard.
When to use this guide

- Storeden is the Source Platform or Target Platform in your selected migration path;
- Next-Cart shows Storeden API setup;
- Next-Cart asks for Storeden connection values.

| Permission to manage API or integration access | The account must be allowed to create, view, or authorize connection values. |
| Scope decisions | You need to know which data types Next-Cart must access. |
| Secure storage | API credentials and tokens must be copied only into approved secure locations. |

Security cleanup

- 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 or API user used for API setup.
