Connect Abicart to Sendify and manage the API key

Connect Abicart to Sendify and manage the API key. Prerequisites, steps and checks.

Transfer orders to Sendify using the shop ID and a dedicated API key.

This guide is for the shop’s integration administrator. Sendify provides an Abicart connection configured in Sendify. Abicart’s open API is available to shops with an active subscription; Sendify accounts, features, shipping agreements and prices apply separately. This is not a setting that automatically books freight for every Abicart shipping method.

Create a dedicated key in Abicart

  1. Open the correct shop and note its shop ID.

  2. Go to Settings → External services → Abicart API/API keys and open Auth tokens.

  3. Add a key, name it clearly, for example “Sendify”, and describe its purpose. Check that it is active and save/create as instructed by the form.

  4. Copy the token value to Sendify’s connection form. It grants access to the shop; use a dedicated key per connection and do not disclose it in chat or screenshots.

Complete the connection in Sendify

Open Integrations in Sendify and select Abicart. Enter the shop ID and API key, then select the order status triggering import, enabled features and a suitable start date. Follow Sendify’s current connection steps (in Swedish). Do not select a historical start date without understanding which older orders it includes.

Check an intended sample order in Sendify and its delivery details. An imported order does not by itself mean that freight is booked, a label purchased or tracking returned to Abicart. Check the features enabled in Sendify.

Replace or revoke a key

Identify the key by name and description in Abicart’s key list. For a planned rotation, create a new key, update Sendify and verify the connection before disabling or revoking the old one. If a key may have leaked, revoke it immediately and provide a replacement. Do not revoke an unidentified key without checking which systems use it.

If the connection fails, check shop ID, key activation and Sendify’s import status/start date. Contact Sendify about its import or shipping workflow. Send the error and shop ID, rather than the token value.

Quick start

  1. Create a dedicated active API key.

  2. Connect the correct shop ID in Sendify.

  3. Choose import status, start date and features.

  4. Check an intended order and protect the key.

API access requires an active Abicart subscription. Sendify’s service and shipments have separate terms.
