This article builds on the technical Shops API overview and covers the administrative steps needed to get your platform listed directly in Base.com’s integration list (rather than only available via the generic “Other shop” option).
1. Build the integration per the Shops API
Integration should be implemented according to the Shops API documentation, which also includes a tester. An example integration file is available as a starting point.
2. Set up a test Base account
For access to the demo, create an account on the production version of Base (registration). If the default trial period isn’t enough to finish integration and testing, let us know and we’ll extend it.
3. Until you’re listed
Until the integration is approved and published, your clients can connect your platform via the generic “Other shop” option in the Base panel.
4. What we need to add you to the integration list
Once your integration is built and tested (step 1), send us:
- A logo — a link to it is fine. It’s shown next to your integration in the list when a user adds it.
- End-user setup instructions — the text shown in the left-hand panel when a user sets up the integration. It needs to cover everything required for a successful setup: exactly where to go, what to click, what to enable, what to copy and where, where to find any required passwords/keys, who to contact if something doesn’t work, and the scope of what the integration supports.
- A test instance of your store, with access for us — so we can verify the integration ourselves (assuming you’ve already completed integration and testing on your side).
- The login email of your Base account — the initial rollout will be limited to specific accounts and won’t be globally visible yet (used for final testing before full publication).
Prepare all four items together — it speeds up our approval process.
