In case the store was not added properly, please check if your /api/rest returns error 404 - https://yourstore/api/rest

If your Magento store runs on an apache server, you can fix that in .htaccess by uncommenting this part of the code or adding this code if it missing there:

############################################ ## rewrite API2 calls to api.php (by now it is REST only) RewriteRule ^api/rest api.php?type=rest [QSA,L]

!!! IMPORTANT !!! this RewriteRule MUST be before the ending rule, which everything else redirects to your homepage!

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

Also is important to turn on HTTP authorization in your .htaccess file. You must uncomment this part of the code:

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

If you have an NGINX server, .htaccess is not used. In that case, you must solve all redirections and settings in the Nginx configuration.

6. Add Store

Add a store to your Koongo account by clicking the "Add New" button.
