Reauthorize Your Yahoo! Store

Reauthorizing your Yahoo! connection can be useful when permissions need to be reestablished between Endicia and your Yahoo! store, such as when you receive an error when importing orders.

If your Yahoo! Stores stops importing orders, you may need to refresh or reauthorize the store connection. The Yahoo! Store API Token needs to be renewed at least every 5 years.

Reauthorizing your connection will not affect your store settings, Service Mappings, or orders that have already been imported.

To reauthorize your Yahoo! store:

  1. Go to the ORDERS tab and click the Settings icon The Settings icon..

    Renewing a partner token generates a new token for use with your store. By default, the new token expiry date will be one year from the current date. You may also choose to set your own token expiry date, which can be up to five years from the current date.
