1. Before you start this activity, make sure that you have completed the instructions in Initial Configuration: To Set Up a BigCommerce Store.
2. Sign in to the control panel of the BigCommerce store as the store administrator.

Step: Obtaining the BigCommerce Store API Credentials

Before you can establish a connection between your instance of MYOB Acumatica and the online store, you need to generate an API account. Do the following:

1. In the left pane of the control panel, click Settings.
2. On the Settings page, in the API section, click Store-level API accounts.
3. On the Store-level API accounts page, click Create API account.
4. On the Create account page, specify the following settings:
   • Token type: V2/V3 API token
   • Name: Acumatica ERP Integration
5. Make a note the store's API path, which is displayed in the API path box.
6. For each scope under OAuth scopes, set the permission to the highest (rightmost) level.
7. In the lower right, click Save to save your changes.
8. In the BigCommerce API credentials dialog box, which appears, the following details of the created API account are displayed:
   • Client ID
   • Client secret
   • Access token

   If you are using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, a text file with this information, as well as the API Path, will be automatically downloaded to your computer.

9. Save the API account information to a file.
   Important: Make sure to securely store these API credentials. If you lose this information, you will have to delete the account and create a new one.
10. Click Done to close the dialog box.

    On the Store-level API accounts page, to which you return, the information about the Acumatica ERP Integration account is now displayed.

Now you can move on to establish a connection between MYOB Acumatica and the BigCommerce store and perform the minimum configuration of the connection. To do so, follow the steps described in Initial Configuration: To Establish and Configure the Store Connection.
