- Navigate to the Settings/Integrations page within WooDelivery Admin Dashboard
- Copy an API key at the top of the page for later use (Note: Click on [Create New API Key] button if you do not have a key)
- Note: If you work with multiple merchants/restaurants under the same WooDelivery account, you can attach the API key to a merchant. All orders created from this API key will be assigned to the attached merchant automatically.
