Prerequisites and a checklist for integrating a non-Shopify storefront with Whatmore.

​
1. Get access

Your Whatmore contact provisions your store and issues:
  • A store_id — identifies your store; used to get an access token and on every API call.
  • A Brand ID — used by the App SDK to render your surfaces.
  • Access to the Whatmore dashboard for managing videos and tagging products.
You obtain a bearer access token yourself from GET /auth/access-token?store_id=<store_id> and send it on every API call. See Authentication.

​
2. Environments

The API base URL is https://api.whatmore.live; the dashboard is at dashboard.whatmore.live. Production and staging issue separate store_ids and tokens, so integration testing never touches live data.

​
3. Integration checklist

  • store_id + Brand ID received; access token obtained (Auth)
  • Catalog pull connected (product API + field mapping, product URLs added); real-time push wired (optional — price / availability)
  • Widget embedded from the dashboard-generated snippet (or App SDK for apps)
  • Order tracking called on order completion
  • Attribution verified in the dashboard

​
Mental model

  • The dashboard does the work. You connect a catalog and report orders; video hosting, tagging, campaigns, and analytics live in the dashboard.
  • Reference products by your own client_product_id (commonly the product URL) — no separate id mapping.
  • Attribution is per order item — the widget’s video-view / add-to-cart signals are matched to line items on the order-tracking call.
