This concept page explains how to access The Connector, understand your credentials, find your Seller ID, and choose the right environment before building with the Quivo API. For step-by-step authentication, see the Make your first API call tutorial.

​
Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:
  • Merchant account: Provisioned by Quivo.
  • Connector Web App access: Ability to sign in to The Connector.
  • API credentials: Static API key, username, and password issued by Quivo.
  • Seller ID: Your merchant identifier needed for API operations.
If you need a merchant account or Connector access, contact Quivo support.

​
Access The Connector

​
Credential model

  • Static API key: Provided by Quivo; send in the X-Api-Key header.
  • Username and password: Your Quivo login; used with the API key to obtain a session token.
  • Session token: Obtained via POST /login; send in the Authorization header for API calls.
For authentication flows and header examples, see the Authentication guide.

​
Getting an API key

  • Quivo issues your static API key during onboarding or via The Connector.
  • The separate How-To guide, Request an API Key, covers detailed, step-by-step API key request flows for both UI and API.

​
Find your Seller ID

  • Your Seller ID uniquely scopes API operations to your merchant account.
  • Retrieve it via the GET /sellers endpoint after you have a session token.

​
Choose your environment

  • Use the correct ${BASE_URL} configured for your account:
    • Production: https://api.quivo.co
    • Sandbox: https://api-sandbox.quivo.co
  • Keep base URLs, API keys, and session tokens separate per environment. An API key is always required in the X-Api-Key header.
