Instructions for Connecting to the B2B Web Service

Below is a brief description of how to activate and use the Šmit Electronic B2B web service.

The B2B web service is intended for registered and approved B2B users and enables the retrieval of product, category, and availability data in XML and JSON formats.

User Account Activation

An active user account on the Šmit Electronic web shop is required in order to use the B2B web service.

If your user account has been created by the Šmit Electronic team, you will receive an e-mail with a link to set your password. Click the link to set your password and complete the activation of your user account.

If the link does not open, copy the address from the e-mail and paste it into your web browser.

After setting your password, log in to the web shop using your user credentials.

B2B API Access Activation

After logging in to the web shop, B2B API access must be activated within your user profile.

B2B API access is available at the following link:

If B2B API access has not yet been enabled for your user account, a message will be displayed on the page stating that access is not activated. To activate it, click the Enable B2B API access button.

After activation, you need to set a username and password for API access.

If you have previously used the B2B API, you may set the same access credentials again. Otherwise, set new credentials of your choice.

After entering the credentials, click Save.
