- Enter the required profile details.
- For WHMCS Installation URL, enter the URL for the Client Area of your WHMCS installation. You can find this as System URL in the General tab at Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > General Settings > General.
- For Admin Username, enter the username you use to log in to the web-based admin panel.
- For Admin Password, enter the password you use to log in to the web-based admin panel.
- For API Access Key, enter your API Access Key. If this is the first time using an API Access key, create one using the steps below and then enter it:
- Open the configuration.php file in your WHMCS installation directory using a text editor.
- Add the following line to the end of the file:$api_access_key = "YOUR_API_ACCESS_KEY";Replace YOUR_API_ACCESS_KEY with a randomised series of letters and numbers. You can use the following special characters:! @ # $ % . ( ) * [ ] - _
- Save the file and upload it to your server.
- Click Validate Credentials to test the connection.
Upon success, the connection profile will be created and saved and you will be redirected to the app dashboard.
