# How to Integrate BigCommerce Account with Daton

### Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have an active Daton and BigCommerce account.

### Task 1**: Generate an Access token** for BigCommerce store

When creating a new API account in BigCommerce, you can retrieve the Access Token, Store HASH, and Client ID information.

1. Log in to your [BigCommerce account](https://login.bigcommerce.com/login) and select **Settings** on the left menu.   
2. Navigate to the API section and click **Store-level API accounts.**

3. Click **Create API Account** on the top right corner of the **Store-level API accounts** page and perform the following:&#x20;

   * Select the token type. Keep the default option, which is the **V2/V3 API token**.
   * Enter a name for the app or integration associated with this API account, and then copy or save the API path.&#x20;

     Note that the alphanumeric characters after stores in the API path is your Store HASH. For example, `123abc` is the Store Hash in the following API path: `https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/123abc/v3/`

   * Specify under OAuth Scopes the API resources and permissions to which your app or integration requires access. Select read-only for all items.&#x20;

     **Note** that Daton does not require any Write permissions to the account.&#x20;
4. Click **Save** after making all the changes. A `.txt` file containing the API credentials will automatically get downloaded to your device.&#x20;

   **Note** that to avoid rework, you can also copy and save the credentials, such as **Client ID** and **Access Token**, from the fields displayed in the pop-up.&#x20;

* Integrations would begin in the Pending state and change to the Active state once the first job successfully loaded data into the configured warehouse.&#x20;
* Users can check job status and process logs from the integration details page by clicking on the integration name in the active list.&#x20;
* Users can Re-Authenticate, Edit, Clone, Pause, or Delete the integration at any moment by clicking on settings. You can also adjust the frequency and history of the integration.&#x20;
* On the Sources page, click Integration to access each table in your integration. The page also shows the state of each table, the last replicated time, and Reload access buttons.&#x20;
