Keep your connections secure
Connect your store and print providers with the access ArtDrop needs, and keep account keys out of shared files and screenshots.
Before you begin
- Use the connection instructions shown for each service.
How it works
ArtDrop uses saved connections to create products and listings in your accounts. Protect those credentials as you would a password.
Steps
-
Grant the requested access
Follow the in-app connection flow and review the permissions shown by the service.
-
Keep keys private
Enter account keys only in the connection fields. Do not put them in copy sheets, JSON artwork instructions, or support messages.
-
Review before sharing
Check exported settings, screenshots, and logs for private information before sending them to anyone.
-
Replace exposed keys
If a key was shared accidentally, revoke it at the issuing service and reconnect ArtDrop with a replacement.
Expected result
Your connections have the permissions needed for product creation, and private keys stay under your control.
Good to know
- Your storefront and print provider control their own access and account security.
- Revoking a key can stop pending work that needs that connection.
Troubleshooting
- A connection stopped working? Check whether its key or permissions changed and reconnect through ArtDrop.
How to undo or clean up
Disconnect a service in ArtDrop and revoke its access at the issuing service when you no longer use it.
