1. In the BigCommerce menu, go to Settings › Store-level API Tokens, then click + Create API Account.
2. Under Token Type, choose Create V2/V3 API Token.
3. Enter a Name for the API account. Example: www.marketplacer.com (for your reference only).
4. Configure the OAuth Scopes as follows:

   Note: If you want orders to create or be assigned to existing customers in BigCommerce, you must set the Customers scope to Modify as well. Otherwise, all orders are created as guest orders.

5. Make a note of the API Path displayed. You will need this for your Marketplacer integration setup.

6. Click Save.
7. When you click Save, a .txt file automatically downloads to your computer (example: BigCommerceAPI-credentials-xxxx.txt). This file contains all the necessary information required to enter into Marketplacer. Your BigCommerce setup is now complete.

Marketplacer setup

1. In MConnect,  connect your Marketplacer account.
2. Select BigCommerce from the third-party e-commerce platform options. 
3. Choose the product attributes you want to sync. You can still change this sync setup in Settings later on.
   
   Note: When an item on BigCommerce is a pre-order item, Marketplacer does not sync this preorder product until after this product becomes available to be purchased and delivered at transaction time. 
4. Enable currency conversion, if required. 
5. To connect your BigCommerce account, enter values for the  Store hash and Client ID fields. You can copy and paste the relevant information from the .txt file BigCommerce generated directly into your account. The information you need is Store Hash (API PATH), Client ID & Access Token, which you can find in the .txt file.
   If your API Path displayed is https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/yjurnor2yh/v3/, then your Store Hash is "yjurnor2yh". Please see the below screenshot on how it should appear before Submitting.
