DialogsCredentials

Credentials Dialog
The credentials dialog allows you to enter all the credentials that are needed to access the API for your sales channels and carriers. Each sales channel and carrier is different but most come under one of three types.

Credential types



OAuth
The channel asks you to login and allow access for Packing Partner. It returns a token that is stored and used by Packing Partner to access the API.
Key or Token
The channel or carrier issues a token that they either email you, or you copy it from the channel or carrier portal.
Username, Password
You use your login username and password to allow access to the API.

Expiry

OAuth and some key and token type credentials have an expiry date. If collecting sales has been working and then stops, it is likely that your credentials for that channel have expired.

Toolbar



Filter
Filters the credentials to easily find the ones you are looking for.
Invert
Filter all the credentials that don't contain the filter text
Create
Create a new credentials entry for a channel or carrier. Most carriers only allow one account, so you can't create multiple entries for those.
Verify
Verifies that the credentials you have entered are valid by making a test call to the API.
Renew
Renews OAuth credentials. Only enabled when OAuth credentials are selected.
Remove
Remove the currently selected credentials from the list. To remove permanently you will need to Save the changes.
