API keys would let external systems and scripts work with your account programmatically, for custom integrations and reporting pipelines.
ℹ️ Note: Self-serve API keys are not available in the dashboard yet, so there is no API keys page under Settings today. If you need programmatic access for an integration, contact us and tell us what you want to connect.
Connecting other systems today
Most connections don’t need an API key from you:
- Marketplaces connect from the Channel Hub. See Channels.
- ShipStation connects from its own setup screen. See ShipStation Setup.
- Automations between events in your store run as flows. See Flow Basics.
Keeping credentials safe
Whatever you connect, treat passwords, tokens and keys like cash. Never paste them into email, chat, source control or client-side code, and change them at once if you think one was exposed.
