Coinsnap API Key
This key is used to connect a plugin to Coinsnap. An API key is like a special password that enables two software applications to communicate with each other. Just as you would change a normal password for security reasons or if you believe it has been compromised, you can create a new API key here.
Regenerating an API key means creating a new key and deactivating the old one. This ensures that the connection remains secure. If someone had unauthorized access to the old API key, they will no longer be able to use it once you have regenerated it.

If you want to use Coinsnap in a Shopify store, you must enter the Shopify data here.
In the first line, enter the URL of your Shopify store.
In the second line, enter the Shopify API Key and then the Shopify Admin API Access Token.
We describe how to obtain this data in the Shopify instructions.
