# What is the Shipping API Key or the Secret Shipping API Key?

## These required API keys are randomly generated thru ShipStation to automatically link your ShipStation and Seller Store on ReCapturit.com. This lets customers see parcel rates and decide which shipping service works best for them and their timeline.

To make sure you have linked ShipStation with your ReCapturit Seller store log into your Seller Dashboard

![Login](https://support.recapturit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20images/Seller%20Dashboard/Login.jpg?width=688&name=Login.jpg)

On the left hand side scroll down to "Manage Shipping"

![Manage Shipping](https://support.recapturit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20images/Seller%20Dashboard/Manage%20Shipping.jpg?width=688&name=Manage%20Shipping.jpg)

If the "Shipping API Key" and/or "Secret Shipping API Key" are blank log into ShipStation by [clicking this link.](https://ship12.shipstation.com/)

![API Keys](https://support.recapturit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20images/Seller%20Dashboard/API%20Keys.jpg?width=688&name=API%20Keys.jpg)

In ShipStation click on "Settings"

![Settings Cog](https://support.recapturit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20images/ShipStation/Settings%20Cog.jpg?width=688&name=Settings%20Cog.jpg)

![ShipStation API](https://support.recapturit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20images/ShipStation/ShipStation%20API.jpg?width=688&name=ShipStation%20API.jpg)

Copy and paste the "API Key" and "API Secret" into the corresponding fields from manage shipping in your seller dashboard.
