# How to link your OpenBazaar GUID to your Blockstack ID
{:.no_toc}
* TOC
{:toc}
If you don't have the Blockstack CLI. Download and install it first. Instructions are [here](https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-cli/blob/master/README.md). The rest of this tutorial assumes that you've already registered a name using the Blockstack CLI.
## Step 1: Advanced Mode
The first step is to activate "advanced mode" in the CLI. The command to do so is:
```
$ blockstack set_advanced_mode on
```
## Step 2: Add an OpenBazaar Account
The second step is to create an OpenBazaar account for your profile (the [Onename](https://onename.com) app also enabled to link your OpenBazaar GUID). The command to do so is:
```
$ blockstack put_account "<BLOCKSTACK ID>" "openbazaar" "<YOUR OB GUID>" "<URL TO YOUR STORE>"
```
The URL can be any valid URL; it won't be used by OpenBazaar. Here's an example, using the name `testregistration001.id` and the GUID `0123456789abcdef`:
```
$ blockstack put_account "testregistration001.id" "openbazaar" "0123456789abcdef" "https://bazaarbay.org/@testregistration001"
```
The update should be instantaneous. You can verify that your store is present with `list_accounts`:
```
$ blockstack list_accounts "testregistration001.id"
{
"accounts": [
{
"contentUrl": "https://bazaarbay.org/@testregistration001.id",
"identifier": "0123456789abcdef",
"service": "openbazaar"
}
]
}
````
# Troubleshooting
Common problems you might encounter.
## Profile is in legacy format
If you registered your blockstack ID before spring 2016, there's a chance that your profile is still in a legacy format. It will get migrated to the new format automatically if you update your profile on the [Onename](https://onename.com) app. However, you have to do this manually with the CLI.
To do so, the command is:
```
$ blockstack migrate <YOUR BLOCKSTACK ID>
```
It will take a little over an hour to complete, but once finished, you'll be able to manage your accounts with the above commands (and do so with no delays).
## Failed to broadcast update transaction
This can happen during a `migrate` for one of a few reasons:
* You do not have enough balance to pay the transaction fee (which is calculated dynamically).
* Your payment address has unconfirmed transactions.
* You can't connect to a Bitcoin node.
To determine what's going on, you should try the command again by typing `BLOCKSTACK_DEBUG=1 blockstack ...` instead of `blockstack...`.
