Abicart / Textalk Installation Guide

Abicart can easily be integrated with Hello Retail by going through a few step. Please follow the guide, and you will be up and running in no time.

Share your product data via API access

When you add your Abicart webshop to your Hello Retail account, the first thing you will be asked to provide is access to the Abicart API. To do so, you need to set up API access in your Abicart settings. Navigate to Settings -> Apps and press Edit in the API keys box.

On the next page, press Add to add a new API key. 

Activate the API key, enter a name and a description and click Add.

After clicking add, the new API key will be created and displayed. Copy the key.

Go back to your Hello Retail account and input the API key and shop ID. You find the shop ID in the top left corner on your Abicart webshop account page. Click Verify API access.

Add the Hello Retail JavaScript

The next step is to insert the Hello Retail JavaScript that will allow Hello Retail to function on the webshop, for example, to display product recommendations. The script is a piece of code that you will place in the header of your webshop. The code is displayed on your Hello Retail account as part of this step.

To edit the header, navigate to Store design -> Themes and click the edit icon on the active theme.

On the next page, under Content, click Site header. Under Top bar custom content, there's a drop-down menu, where you pick Custom HTML. Then a Custom HTML box will appear beneath. Click the "<>" icon to edit the source code.

Paste the Hello Retail JavaScript into the Source code box and click Ok.

Save the changes on the green Save button at the top. On your Hello Retail account, please click Check JavaScript installation. If you get an error stating that the script has not been loaded, you might have to go to your webshop front page and reload the page and recheck the installation after.

Conversion tracking

The last step is to give Hello Retail access to conversion data. It is done through Google Tag Manager, so you need to have an account, to set it up. If you have an account, please go through this guide to set up the conversion tracking. Confirm the setup by clicking Conversion tracking installed.
