Updated over 5 months ago

Prerequisites

In order to add this subscription you need to have an active BigCommerce Account and have admin permissions (or permissions to add apps) on that account.

In order to enable the B2B functionality you need to have installed and configured the BigCommerce B2B Edition app. Additional fees from BigCommerce may be applicable here.

Connecting to BigCommerce

You have several options for how you can connect to BigCommerce:

    1. Give your subscription a name

    2. Add the API URL, which is typically https://api.bigcommerce.com

    3. Add the store hash, which can be found in your admin URL. When you are logged into the admin, the URL should be like: https://store-iqsi3hfvrv.mybigcommerce.com/manage/.... and in this case, iqsi3hfvrv is the store hash.
