This particle is powered by Snipcart, an API key is necessary to add this functionality to your site and enable you to manage and track your store's performance. Here's how to get one:
- Sign in and log in to Snipcart.
- Add your domain to Snipcart.
- Copy your API key from Snipcart's Credentials page.
- Paste your API key to the API Key field in this particle and/or the Product List particle.
It's also important to note that your site needs to be publicly accessible in order for it to work. Snipcart needs to be able to communicate with your site. This could be achieved by pointing your browser to your domain as it is served remotely or a localhost that points to a domain name.
Snipcart gives you a test mode you can switch to live when you're ready to take live orders. Test mode enables you to test your cart. You can switch between these modes here.
