To use the WHMCS Mobile app with your WHMCS installation, you need to establish a connection profile using the steps below:

1. Open the WHMCS Mobile application
2. Upon the first launch, you will be automatically asked to create a new connection profile. Alternatively, navigate to Settings > Manage/Switch Profiles and click the New icon (+).
3. Enter the profile details as follows:
   • WHMCS Installation URL: should be the URL to the client area of your WHMCS installation - also the same as the System URL found in Setup > General Settings > General within the admin area.
   • Admin Username: Enter the username you use to login to the web based admin panel
   • Admin Password: Enter the password you use to login to the web based admin panel
   • API Access Key: Enter your API Access Key or if this is the first time using an API Access key, create one using the steps below:
     • Creating an API Access Key for the first time
     • Open the configuration.php file found 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 the key you'd like to use.
     • A tool such as https://passwordsgenerator.net/ can be used to generate a random key
     • Save changes to the configuration.php file and upload to your server
     • Now enter the API Key you created in the field where requested
   • Finally, click the Validate Credentials button to test the connection

Upon success, the connection profile will be created and saved and you will be redirected to the app dashboard.
