Keys and the API

Let your own tools do the busy work.

Make a key and your software can read your shop or change it. It uses the same API our dashboard uses.

Keys and the APIStart for free

Why now

the influence of traditional search: what AI search now has, for people who use AI.

Source: McKinsey Agentic Commerce Consumer Survey, June 2026

AI now steers how people shop.

Your shop already answers AI agents on its own. A key lets your own tools reach it as well.

Try it

Decide what a key can do.

A key is a pass for your software. Flip each choice and read what it means.

Example. Nothing here touches a real shop.

A key for your tool

Let this key change the shopIt can only read. Every key starts this way.
Set a longer end dateIt stops working after 90 days.
End this keyStill working. You can see when it was last used.

The real screen

Keys you can end at any time.

Name each key, see when it was last used, and end it with one press.

How it works

From a key to a working tool.

Make a key
Do it in your settings. You see it once, so keep it safe.
Call the API
An API is how software talks to your shop. Ours has a public reference your tools can read.
Or install an app
An app does the same for many shops. You see what it can reach before you say yes.

What you get

What there is to build on.

One API for your shop
Keys you control

118 kinds of event for apps

Read only to start
An end date on every key
New access waits for your yes

For AI agents

Your tools and AI agents stay apart.

A key you make is for your own tools. AI agents that shop use your shop’s own connection, with keys of their own.

The real screen

Limits for AI agents, on their own screen.

Each AI agent’s key shows what it may spend in a day. Set its limits, or press Block.

Before you count on it

What a key does not do.

On every plan, including the free one.
A key reaches one shop. To build for other shops, make an app.
Webhooks, the messages your shop sends when something happens, go to apps. A key on its own does not receive them.
A key cannot invite or remove anyone, or do more than the person who made it.

Questions

Do I need a certain plan?: No. Keys and the API are on every plan.
Can a key do more than I can?: No. It holds what your role holds and nothing more. It cannot invite or remove anyone.
What if a key leaks?: End it and it stops working. Then make another. Each key has an end date anyway.
Can I see what an app reaches before I install it?: Yes. You see what it can reach first. If an update asks for more, it waits for your yes. Remove it any time.
Can I build an app for other shops?: Yes. Our page for app makers says how, and Storeware takes no share of what you sell.
What about my AI assistant?: You can connect the assistant you already use and work on your shop from it.

Connect your own tools to your shop.

Start your shop, then make your first key in settings. It reads only until you say so.
