# BigCommerce

The following steps outline how to get the API credentials needed to integrate Workforce with [BigCommerce](https://www.bigcommerce.com) to be able to browse and select products. 

You'll need the same credentials to configure the BigCommerce action extension for use in Workforce Flows, and for setting up a commerce repository for  Workforce content generation templates.

- [Installing action extension](https://amplience.com/developers/docs/workforce/setup/integrations/#installing-an-action-extension) explains how to install extensions from the Workforce integrations marketplace.

- [Setting up a commerce repository](https://amplience.com/developers/docs/workforce/setup/integrations/#setting-up-commerce-repositories) provides more information about adding commerce repositories.

## What you'll need

The following details are required:

- BigCommerce Store Hash
- BigCommerce API token (the BigCommerce access token)
- BigCommerce API URL (Note: the BigCommerce API URL is `https://api.bigcommerce.com`).

You can create a new API account or use the information from an account that you've already setup.

## Creating an API account

- Log in to BigCommerce and choose Settings > Store-level API Tokens.
- Click "Create API account"

- Select the account type **V3 API token**.
- You'll need to note the store hash. This is part of the API path: `https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/<store hash>/v3/`
