You connect data sources yourself in SourceMedium. Sign in to your SourceMedium account, open your store, then in the Data sources section click Connect data source and choose the platform. You need an Editor or Admin role on the store. If you have view-only access, ask an admin or editor on your team to connect it.Once it is connected, what happens next covers first-sync timing and what each connection status means.
What you need
- An active Tapcart account
- A Tapcart API key for the Insights API
- Your Tapcart App ID
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.
Tapcart data sync is not live yet. Your connection is validated and stored, and nothing more is needed from you. It reads Awaiting first data until the sync starts, 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.
