Storefronts and access keys

One catalogue, several shops: domain, language, currency, and the key a shop connects with.

Monokaido does not assume a single shop. The same catalogue can serve several storefronts — a different domain per country, wholesale alongside retail — and each connects with its own key.

The storefront screen with buttons to create a storefront and an API key, and a documentation link
Fig. 1 — Shops. One screen for two different ways of getting the catalogue to a customer.

Controls on this screen

  1. Two things at once — Storefronts (a ready-made shop) and API keys (your own front end). Not two ways to do the same thing — two different routes.
  2. Create storefront — A shop running on Monokaido. The domain, look and content are configured afterwards.
  3. Create API key — Access for your own front end. It takes the catalogue over the API and you own the presentation.
  4. API documentation — Opens the interface reference. This link is for a developer, not for an operator.
  5. Empty state — Until one exists, the catalogue is published nowhere — the module is on but has no output.
  6. Where it lives — In the left ecommerce menu under Shops, straight after customers.

I lost the key.

It cannot be shown again. Create a new one and replace it in the shop; revoke the old one.

Can two shops have different prices?

Prices belong to the catalogue, but currency and region belong to the shop — so conversion and tax do differ.

Will the second shop see the first one's orders?

Orders belong to the storefront they were placed on, and can be filtered by it.
