How to Get Your Ecwid Personal Collection URL

Quick Steps:

1. Log into your Ecwid store admin account.
2. Go to http://api-playground.ecwid.com.
3. Click "Connect with Ecwid".
4. Once connected, your Personal Collection URL will appear — copy and use it as needed.

Example of the Personal Collection URL:

Requirements:

• Your store must be on a paid plan (Venture, Business, or Unlimited).

What is it used for?

This URL is a Postman collection with built-in API access to your store. It's commonly used for migrations and integrations with tools like Cart2Cart or Next-Cart.

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 3: Request missing permissions (if necessary):

• Scroll down to “Request Ecwid team to update app details & add new features” and click “Contact”
• List missing permissions in “Type your answer here…” and click “Submit”

Step 4: After Ecwid updates permissions, please uninstall the app in “Apps > My Apps” and install it in the “develop-apps” section: https://my.ecwid.com/#develop-apps

Step 5: Click on the “Show secret token” button. Copy and paste it into the Secret Token field of Cart2Cart to continue the data migration.
