# Get API credentials

> Create store-scoped API keys and WooCommerce connection keys.

## Developer API key

1. Go to **Dashboard → API keys** (store-scoped)
2. Click **Create API key**
3. Copy the key immediately (shown only once (`sk_live_...`)

Default scopes: `invoices:read`, `invoices:write`, `transactions:read`, `payment_links:read`, `payment_links:write`, `webhooks:read`, `webhooks:write`.

| Key type      | Scopes                                         | Use                           |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Developer key | See above                                      | Custom integrations           |
| Woo bootstrap | `woocommerce:bootstrap`                        | Plugin connect only (24h TTL) |
| Woo dedicated | `invoices:create`, `invoices:read`, Woo scopes | Auto-issued after connect     |

Use in requests: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...` against `https://api.meum.io`.

## WooCommerce connection key

1. **Dashboard → Integrations → WooCommerce** → generate connection key
2. Paste in the plugin connect flow, then see [WooCommerce configuration](/woocommerce/configuration)

<Warning>
  Bootstrap keys cannot create invoices. The plugin uses the dedicated key issued after connect.
</Warning>
