How to Obtain Your API Key for Data Migration

To perform a data migration from Ecwid using Cart2Cart, you will need to provide your store’s Personal Collection URL. This URL is essential for Cart2Cart to securely access and transfer your store's data. Keep in mind that access to the Ecwid API, which is necessary for data migration, is only available to merchants with a paid plan (Venture, Business, or Unlimited). Unfortunately, those on the Free plan cannot use the Ecwid API for data migration purposes.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you obtain the API Key for your Ecwid store:

Step 1: Log in to your Ecwid admin Panel.

Step 3: Request missing permissions (if necessary):
