Create folders for third-party files

Commerce includes a folder named /thirdparty where you can upload files needed by third-party services such as Apple Pay and Google Search.

This section applies to Open Storefront Framework (OSF) and Storefront Classic.

Files stored in the /thirdparty folder can be accessed on your site. For example, if your site is www.example.com and you upload a file named myfile.html, the file can be viewed at the following URL:

http://www.example.com/myfile.html

You can create subfolders of /thirdparty and upload files to these subfolders using the Commerce Admin API. For example, you could create a subfolder named /thirdparty/myfolder, and upload the file myfile.html to this subfolder. The file would then be accessible at this URL:

http://www.example.com/myfolder/myfile.html

To create a subfolder of /thirdparty, issue a POST request to the /ccadmin/v1/files/createFolder endpoint on the administration server. The request JSON for this endpoint includes a single property, folder, for specifying the pathname, which must begin with /thirdparty.

For example, the following request creates a /myfolder subfolder of the /thirdparty folder:

POST /ccadmin/v1/files/createFolder  HTTP 1.1
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

{
  "folder": "/thirdparty/myfolder"
}

If the folder creation is successful, the JSON payload in the response is empty. To verify that the folder was created successfully, see View a list of files and folders.
