Step 1: Login and navigate to app development

First, log in to your SHOPLINE admin dashboard.

Next, on the left-hand side, go to the Apps section and click the Develop Apps button located at the top right corner.

Make sure to keep your API token in a secure location, as it is required for all authenticated API calls during your migration process.

Note:

Please store your API token in a secure location, as it is required for all authenticated API calls during your migration process. If you need to update your credentials in the future, simply generate a new token by following these same steps. Any future changes to this process will be communicated promptly.
