Client ID

How do you set up the connection?

  1. Log into the marketplace’s merchant or developer area.

  2. Navigate to the API or app integration section.

  3. Copy your Merchant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret.

  4. Enter these values into the corresponding fields in your system.

  5. Save the settings.

Security note

  • Do not share it with third parties.

  • If you suspect it has been compromised, generate a new one in your marketplace account and update the connection settings accordingly.
