1\.      Click on **Add Key**.

2\.      A form titled **Key Details** will appear.

3\.      Fill in the required fields as shown below:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th valign="top"></th><th valign="top"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><strong>Field</strong></td><td valign="top"><strong>Example</strong></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Description</td><td valign="top">ERP Integration</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">User</td><td valign="top">Admin</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Permissions</td><td valign="top">Read/Write</td></tr></tbody></table>

Once the details are entered, click **Generate API Key**.

#### 4. Copy API Credentials

After the key is generated, WooCommerce will display the following credentials:

·       **Consumer Key**

·       **Consumer Secret**

Example:

```
Consumer Key: ck_xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Consumer Secret: cs_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

<mark style="color:$danger;">⚠</mark> <mark style="color:$danger;"></mark><mark style="color:$danger;">**Important:**</mark>\
The **Consumer Secret** will only be displayed once. Make sure to copy and store it securely.

These credentials are required for external applications to authenticate and communicate with WooCommerce through the API.
