093: How to Generate An API Key in Squarespace
Squarespace is a platform that speaks with other apps and systems that you may be using to run your online business. Such integrations often need an API key that’s generated in your Squarespace dashboard. Let me show you where you can create it.
Note: This video was made thanks to my client Afrosexology.com for whom I recently completed a ConvertKit Migration project. Check them out here.

Integrate Squarespace with Other Apps using the API Key
Follow these steps:
i. Settings > Advanced > Developer API Keys
This will bring you to the right spot.
ii. Next, Click the Generate Key
This will open up a box.
iii. Next, Add in a Name for your Key
Often you will be needing several keys when connecting different apps. So name the key appropriately. In this case I am calling it ConvertKit as I was doing an integration for my client Afrosexology’s who wanted their e-shop transactions feeding into their email marketing platform. If you want to know how to do such an integration, watch next video and blog No. 94. Also, Sign up to my free Abundant Creative Newsletter, that way you will get an email when I release a new video or blog article or have a new offer. Last year, I gave away 5 free custom designed websites to lucky newsletter subscribers and I do things like that from time to time. So do sign up at the link on the screen or in the description.
iv. Alright, Next Click on Orders
Make sure you click on Read and Write.
v. Then Click Generate Key
You can now click the button that says “Copy Key” and then go into whichever app you are working with.
That’s it.
I hope you found this video helpful. Thank you for watching and I wish you a peaceful and harmonious day. Bye for now!
To your success,
