How to get your Wayfair Client ID, Client Secret and Vendor Encrypted Key: Step-by-step guide

November 19, 2024

If you're building an integration with Wayfair, you'll need an Client ID, Client Secret and Vendor Encrypted Key from your customer's Wayfair account to authenticate requests.

This guide shows you (or your customers) how to generate one from Wayfair's account settings.

Your Encrypted API Key can be found in the UI for Supplier management of Vendor apps.

Steps:

1. Go to the Supplier Integration Status page
2. Select "Vendor Applications" tab
3. Hit "Manage" on the Catalog API row
4. Select your Vendor from the list
5. Grant the needed permissions (see overview of permissions below)
   1. Note: Only the permissions that correspond to capabilities that a given Vendor has adopted will be viewable + grantable.
6. Overview of permissions:
   1. read-product-classes; Gets the product classes that suppliers can list items for sale
   2. read-product-catalog; Export the supplier product catalog
   3. write-product-generic-description; Update the generic descriptions for products
   4. read-product-generic-description-update-status; Checks the status of generic description updates
   5. read-product-generic-descriptions-by-part; Get the existing generic descriptions given a supplier part number
   6. read-media-metadata-tags; Get the metadata tags associated with media;
   7. read-media-uploaded; Get the list of media that was uploaded for a product
   8. read-media-uploaded-status; Get the uploaded status for a given media request
   9. write-media-upload-from-url; Uploads new media and associates it with a product
   10. read-product-create-submit-status; Check the status of a new product request
   11. read-product-create-questions; Get the questions required by a product class for listing new items for sale
   12. write-product-create-submit; Submit a new product to be listed on site
   13. read-supplier-brand-associations; Get the supplier brands that are authorized for the supplier to sell
7. On the Vendor application page, can copy their encrypted key by pressing the "Copy Encrypted Key" button.
   1. This encrypted key is just an encrypted supplier ID + name. This is more secure than using inputing SuID into the Vendor's system.
