We support three kinds of authentication:
- API key
- Bearer token (no refresh token)
- Basic flow
Merchants enter their authentication key when they first activate your integration.
API key
You can have the merchant’s API key as a header or a query parameter. You can configure the field name, and add multiple headers if you need them.
If you need merchants to enter an additional authentication parameters like their username and password, you can add those by creating settings and using the variable as the value.
Bearer token
We will automatically attach an Authorization header to your requests. We will add merchant’s key after "Bearer". We can only support bearer tokens that don’t expire, and we don’t support refresh tokens yet.

Basic flow
We will automatically attach an Authorization header to your requests. We will add merchant’s key after "Basic".

Let’s take a look at creating settings now.
