Installing Younifyd on BigCommerce
Step-by-step: install Younifyd from the BigCommerce App Marketplace, the connections and sample Products/Orders workflows created automatically, and how to test and open the app afterward.
On this page
Install from the BigCommerce Marketplace
- In your BigCommerce control panel, go to Apps > Marketplace and search for Younifyd.
- Click Install. BigCommerce shows a consent screen listing the permissions Younifyd is requesting — review it and click Confirm.
- You're redirected back to a Younifyd confirmation page, still inside your BigCommerce control panel (the install never leaves BigCommerce or opens an external site).
- Close that tab and open Younifyd from Apps > My Apps in your control panel.
What happens automatically during install
No manual setup is required, and you never need to generate or paste an API token yourself. During step 3 above, Younifyd automatically:
- Creates three connections scoped to your store, using the access BigCommerce granted during install: BigCommerce Admin (REST), BigCommerce Admin GraphQL, and BigCommerce Storefront (a GraphQL Storefront API token, minted on your behalf).
- The first time your store installs the app, imports two starter workflows already wired up to those three connections, so there's something working to look at immediately.
Reinstalling or reauthorizing later refreshes these connections' credentials in place — it won't duplicate them, and it won't re-import or overwrite the starter workflows if you've already edited or deleted them.
The sample workflows
Two workflows come pre-installed:
- SAMPLE: API: Products — two routes: Get All Products (
GET /products), which lists the first 10 products via the BigCommerce Storefront API, and Get Product (GET /product/:productId), which fetches a single product by its ID. - SAMPLE: API: Orders — one route: Get All Orders (
GET /orders), which lists orders via the BigCommerce Admin API.
Each route comes with a ready-to-run test case in the workflow's Tests tab, so you can try it immediately without building anything yourself:
- The Get All Products and Get All Orders tests work as-is — just run them.
- The Get Product test is pre-filled with a placeholder product ID (
111) that won't exist in your store. Open that test case and change the path to a real product ID from your BigCommerce catalog before running it.
Using the app
Opening Younifyd from your BigCommerce control panel loads the full workflow builder in an embedded view — everything runs inside the control panel, nothing pops out to a separate site. From there you can:
- Open either starter workflow to see a real, working example.
- Build a new workflow: pick a trigger, add steps using the BigCommerce connectors (or any other connector), and configure routes for how it's called.
- Check the Connections page to see the three BigCommerce connections that were created for you, or add more for other services.
Uninstalling
Uninstalling from Apps > My Apps in your BigCommerce control panel deactivates the app for your store immediately — your workflows and their history aren't deleted, so reinstalling later picks up where you left off.
