Pricing

Using the extension is free of charge, but it needs to be linked to a Custobar account, which is subject to fees. Custobar's invoicing for the service is based on the number of customers.

Installation and setup

Setting up the extension involves creating a new API key for the online store in Custobar, adding the key to the extension's settings and installing the Custobar tracking script in the online store. See below for detailed steps.

2/4 Acquiring an API key

After you have signed up for a Custobar account, you can initiate enabling the service by creating an API key:

  1. Sign in to the Custobar management at https://app.custobar.com
  2. In Custobar's admin panel, go to Settings > Integrations > Available integrations.
  3. Select Custom, and name the integration MyCashflow.
    Also provide a description for the integration that explains what the integration will be used for.

    In Custobar's admin panel, there is also the old MyCashflow integration, which is no longer operational. Don't select it.

  4. In the integration creation view, click Create.

    After the integration has been created, you will be redirected to the integration's own page.

  5. On the integration page, go to the API keys tab, and click Create new API key.

    The view for generating API keys opens.

  6. Give the key a descriptive name, and in the Scopes item, set the value to POST /api/integrations/

    Save the key after that.

    After saving, you will see the API key you created in the following format: API3N5P5ZHI4MEFVZCJXXMOWVD6J4TD4RHZKFLRZ

  7. Copy the API key you created, e.g. into a text editor.

    Custobar will not show you the API key after this, so you should copy and save it straight away.

3/4 Installing the extension

After you have created and copied the API key, you can install the Custobar extension in your online store.

  1. In the admin panel of your online store, go to Account > Apps > Custobar.
  2. On the page, enter the name of the Custobar environment and the API key you have copied.

    You can see the name of the Custobar environment on your browser's address bar, for example.

  3. Save the data.

    The extension settings are opened for editing.

  4. Select the store version for Custobar to track.
  5. Save the extension's settings.

4/4 Installing the tracking script

After having installed the Custobar extension in your online store, you can define the Custobar tracking settings and copy the tracking script to the extension settings.

  1. In the Custobar management, go to Settings > Custobar.js tracking script.
  2. Define the domain to be tracked.

    Add your online store's URL address (e.g., https://www.example.com) to the Allowed sources for traffic that is captured by Custobar.js field.

  3. Copy the tracking script at the bottom of the page in its entirety.
  4. Back in MyCashflow's admin panel, go to Account > Apps > Custobar.
  5. Paste the tracking script into the field in the settings.
  6. Save the extension's settings.

Now Custobar tracking is applied in the selected store version.

To test whether it works properly, you can use the Validate function on the Settings > Custobar.js tracking script page.

Using Custobar in multiple store versions

The Custobar extension can only be installed in one store version at a time, but Custobar's tracking can be used in multiple versions by entering the product feeds for each version in Custobar's settings.
