Settings
The Settings section is the centralised location where you manage all elements of the SparkLayer integration on your website. To begin with, it is used as part of the Onboarding Process, and once you're up and running, it can then be used as a ongoing systems health-check.
The Setup section guides you through the process of configuring SparkLayer. You can learn more about this Getting Started. Once all steps are completed, your integration is ready to go!
Each step can be clicked either to take you to the appropriate area of the Dashboard to be configured, or expanded to show you information right there. For the last two steps, manual testing is required and you'll be asked to check a variety of boxes before marking the step as complete.
Please note Access to the SparkLayer API is only available on the Pro and Enterprise Plans
In order to interact with the SparkLayer API, you'll first need to generate a unique API key that you'll use as part of your integration.
To get started, from within the API Key section, click the 'Create new API Key' button
When you click 'Create API Key', you'll then see your unique Client ID and Client Secret that you'll need for the SparkLayer API.
Important You will only see the Client Secret code once when you create your API Key so make sure to make a note of it.
Once you've created an API Key, you'll then see this listed on the page and you can begin your integration. If you require additional API keys to be created, simply follow the same process noted above.

Apply tiered pricing across variants | If a product has variants (e.g. sizes), tiered pricing will by default be applied across all variants. You can adjust this to apply only so specific variants instead. |
Internal Purchase ID Prefix/Postfix | When a purchase is internal to SparkLayer, we use an internal ID. This is the case for purchases that are not in Shopify, e.g. orders for approval, and quotes. You can customise this ID to have a prefix and/or postfix. By default, the prefix is #P. |
