Overview

To authenticate with Extensiv, you need an API key pair from Extensiv Integration Manager (formerly CartRover):
  1. API User - The user half of your API key pair.
  2. API Key - The secret half of your API key pair.
Extensiv Integration Manager has three types of API keys. Each type gives access to a different set of API endpoints:
  • Cart API keys - for a single sales channel, such as submitting orders from your own cart.
  • Merchant API keys - for a merchant’s orders, carts, and inventory.
  • Warehouse API keys - for a warehouse or OMS managing many merchants.
This guide shows you how to create each type. Create the one that matches the endpoints your integration calls.
