Overview

Powered by is an API-focused product that enables partners to seamlessly provide the BigCommerce solution to their merchants alongside their own product offering. Through the use of our public APIs, partners can:

• Manage the lifecycle of accounts and stores
• Build a fully customizable onboarding flow that meets the needs of their own platform experience
• Bill their merchants directly for BigCommerce services

Authentication

To authenticate, use the Generate an OAuth Token endpoint (in the Auth section below) to create an OAuth access token.

After you have a valid, unexpired OAuth token, use the client_id and oauth_token to authenticate all other API requests:

1
GET https://api.bigcommerce.com/franchises/{franchise_uuid}/v1/accounts/123
2
Accept: application/json
3
X-Auth-Client: {client_id}
4
X-Auth-Token: {oauth_token}
