Create an API token

To use the ShopLinkr API you need an API token. A token authenticates your requests and determines which permissions the integration receives.

Create a token

1. Go to Settings > API Tokens.

2. Click Create token.

3. Give your token a recognizable name, for example "ERP Integration" or "Webshop Sync".

4. Select the permissions your token needs. Permissions are grouped by category, and for each resource you can choose which actions the token is allowed to perform.

5. Click Save.

6. Copy your token right after creating it. You will not be able to view the token again afterwards.

Manage tokens

You can manage existing tokens through Settings > API Tokens.

• Edit permissions - Adjust the permissions of an existing token.

• Refresh - Generate a new token value with the same permissions. The old token stops working immediately.

• Revoke - Delete the token permanently. Any applications using this token lose access immediately.

Good to know

• Your token is shown only once, right after you create it. Store it safely, for example in a password manager.

• Give each token only the permissions it actually needs. This limits the impact if a token ever leaks.

• If you suspect that a token has leaked, revoke it immediately and create a new one.
