Sign in to SourceMedium, open your store, then choose Data sources → Connect data source and select the platform. You need an Admin or Editor workspace role.After you connect explains the first sync and connection statuses.
What you need
- An active Tapcart account
- A Tapcart API key for the Insights API
- Your Tapcart App ID
SourceMedium builds Tapcart reporting models after the first brand connects Tapcart, so prebuilt Tapcart reporting may not be available yet when you connect. Order-level reports continue to use your Shopify connection and its available order metadata.
How to connect
1
Copy your API key and App ID
In Tapcart, open Settings and copy the App ID. Have the API key Tapcart issued you ready as well. Tapcart’s API setup guide describes both.
2
Add the credentials in SourceMedium
Find Tapcart in the connector picker and click Connect. Paste the API key and App ID, then click Connect.
3
Confirm it is connected
SourceMedium checks the credentials with Tapcart before saving them, so a wrong key is rejected on the spot.
The connection reads Awaiting first data until the first sync lands, then Connected.
SourceMedium only ever reads from your connected platforms. It does not create, change, or delete anything, so create the key with read-only access wherever the platform offers it. Treat it like a password: keep it confidential and avoid sharing it over email or in spreadsheets. If the credential is rotated or revoked, follow this guide’s connection method to update SourceMedium.
