Creating BigCommerce API Credentials for Westfield online

Overview:

This guide will show you how to create an API Account in your BigCommerce store so that you are able to share the Client ID, Access Token and Store Hash necessary to connect to the Westfield online Integration Management Portal. BigCommerce integrates directly via API with the Westfield online Integration Management Portal, which then integrates directly via API with Westfield online (Mirakl). Stock, Price, Product and Order updates are synchronised in close to real-time.

Rundown:

1. Log in to your BigCommerce admin account, as a Store Owner
   
   
2. Scroll all the way down the list to API › API Accounts and click Create API Account. Select Create a V2/V3 API token.
   
   
3. Enter a Name for the app/integration corresponding to this account, then copy or make a note of the API Path — you'll need it to use the API account. The name can be a minimum of four characters long.
   
   
   
   
4. When you’re done making changes, click Save. A successful save will display the pop-up shown below. It will contain the API credentials that your app will need for OAuth access, and you will be prompted by your browser to download a .txt file containing the same credentials for safekeeping on your computer.
   
   

   Note: Keep your credentials! There is no way to return to this pop-up after you select Done to dismiss it. Make sure you store your credentials – either by copying/pasting the contents of each field out of the pop-up or by keeping the downloaded .txt file. We recommend adding the API Path value from Step 2 to these credentials, as it is used for all API calls using the token.
   
   

5. Please share these details with your Westfield online Seller Success and Integration team representatives.
