• Administrator Username:
  • Navigate to the Integration Help page’s imports or exports sections.

• Encrypted Password String:
  • Find the general query string information field within the chosen import or export section.
  • Locate the encrypted password string between the text “&EncryptedPassword=” and “&.” This string is the encrypted password you’ll use for API authentication.

The client can log in to Api2cart for Volusion using the above details i.e., Username, Password, and Store URL.

API Password Notification:

• PCI security guidelines require updating your store’s administrator account password every 90 days.

• If your administrator account password is updated, you must also update any URL string used to access your store through the Volusion API.
• Obtain an updated URL for a specific export from the API section of your Admin Area after updating the administrator account password.

• API Key and Store Key from API2cart:
  • API2cart acts as a bridge between Volusion and other platforms. To facilitate data exchange, you must obtain an API key and store key from API2cart. These keys serve as authentication tokens, allowing the systems to communicate securely.

Copy the API and Store Key and paste them into the PIM console in the respective boxes.
