How to get API key from Ecwid

To perform a migration from Ecwid, you will need to provide your store’s Personal Collection URL. Keep in mind that access to the Ecwid API is only available to merchants with a paid plan (Venture, Business, or Unlimited). Unfortunately, those on the Free plan cannot use the Ecwid API.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you obtain the Personal Collection URL for your Ecwid store:

Step 1: Log in to your Ecwid admin Panel.

Step 2: Go to this page to create a new custom app. Please ensure your app has the following permissions: read_customers, read_brands, create_catalog, update_subscriptions, read_discount_coupons, create_discount_coupons, update_catalog, public_storefront, customize_cart_calculation, update_discount_coupons, delete_staff, read_store_limits, create_customers, read_catalog, update_customers, read_orders, read_staff, add_payment_method, create_orders, read_subscriptions, update_orders, read_store_profile, add_shipping_method, invite_staff, update_store_profile.

Step 3: Request missing permissions (if necessary):

  • Scroll down to “Request Ecwid team to update app details & add new features” and click “Contact”
  • List missing permissions in “Type your answer here…” and click “Submit”

Step 4: After Ecwid updates permissions, please uninstall the app in “Apps > My Apps” and install it in the “develop-apps” section: https://my.ecwid.com/#develop-apps

Step 5: Click on the “Show secret token” button. Copy and paste it into the Secret Token field of LitExtension to continue the migration.
