Store

Setting up Snipcart to work with Roe

The Store feature lets you sell products directly from your site using Snipcart. Products are Markdown files similar to pages/posts with metadata for price, SKU, images, etc.

Before Snipcart

You’ll need to enable the Store feature, go to: Admin → Settings and click ENABLE STORE. You can then edit the store settings under: Features → store.yml.

Snipcart settings

Whether is Test or Live Mode, there are 2 things you’ll need to set up Snipcart with Roe. These are both available on the API Keys page (whichever mode you’re in):

Note: Never paste a Live Mode Secrets into the Test Mode on Roe. Test API keys are saved locally in plain text.

  1. Go to: https://app.snipcart.com/dashboard/account/credentials
  2. Copy the <script> snippet in it’s entirety.
  3. Create a Secret API Key if you haven’t already.
  4. Copy that Key.
  5. Come back to Roe: Admin → Settings → snipcart.yml
  6. Paste the Snippet in it’s section, paste the Secret Key in it’s section.
  7. Click SAVE (TEST/LIVE KEYS).

If all seems well, the indicator at the top of the page will be green and say Connected.
