Stores overview

A store in Horizon is one connected Magento — one row per base URL. If your Magento install serves multiple websites or brands, connect each storefront base URL as its own Horizon store: separate API keys, separate usage tracking, clean isolation. (Per-store-view targeting within a single connection is not supported today.)

What lives on a store record​

The dashboard surfaces:

  • Name — display only.
  • Base URL — the public storefront URL. Must be reachable from the Horizon gateway.
  • API key — visible only at create / rotate time.
  • Status — active / inactive (kill switch).
  • Created at — when the store was added.
  • Connection state — last successful test, latency, Magento version reported.
  • Usage — calls this month, current overage (if any), quota remaining.

Internally, each row lives in the stores table of byte8_horizon, scoped to your user_id. All MCP traffic and usage logs join through this row.

Plan limits​

The number of stores you can create is tier-driven:

TierMax stores
Starter1
Pro3
Agency15
EnterpriseCustom

The 14-day free trial runs on your chosen plan's limits.

When you hit the limit, the dashboard surfaces the constraint and createStore returns a structured error. Upgrading or removing an unused store unblocks immediately.

Active vs inactive​

Toggle a store to inactive to pause MCP traffic for it without deleting the record. Useful for:

  • Maintenance windows on the Magento side.
  • Disputed billing on a specific store (pause without losing history).
  • Testing what happens to your agent integration when a store goes offline.

Inactive stores still count toward your max-stores limit. Delete the record outright if you want the slot back.

Deleting a store​

Deleting removes the store, invalidates the API key, and detaches its usage history (retained for account-level totals, no longer attributable to the store). The Magento side is untouched — you should also disable the extension or rotate the key on Magento admin if you don't want stale /horizon/* traffic.

  • API keys — rotation, leak response, multi-environment patterns.
  • Usage analytics — daily / per-tool / per-store breakdowns.
