Apps & integrations

Connect other tools to your store with API keys and webhooks.

Cartisto connects to other systems — an ERP, an inventory sync, a marketing tool — through a secure API and event notifications. You control access; a developer does the wiring.

API keys

An integration authenticates with an API key you create under Settings → API keys. You choose exactly what each key can do (read products, manage orders, and so on), and you can set an expiry and revoke it anytime. Issue a separate key per integration so you can turn one off without affecting the rest.

For a person (a theme developer) rather than a system, use Developer access instead.

Webhooks

Instead of other systems constantly asking “anything new?”, your store can push events to them — a new order, a shipment, a new customer. That keeps connected tools up to date in real time. A developer sets up the receiving endpoint; you choose which events to send.

Who does what

  • You create the API key or webhook and decide its scope.
  • Your developer builds the integration against the App & API portal and gives you the endpoint details.
Tip

Least privilege Give each integration only the access it needs. If a marketing tool only reads orders, a read-scoped key is all it should get — and revoking it later is a single click.
