# Account Setup

## Register

Navigate to the [merchant portal](https://merchant.astral.money) in order to register an account. After sign up, you'll receive a verification email that will allow access to login to the portal and once inside, you'll be presented with your assigned API Key. This is used for both development & configuration of plugins within your eCommerce store.\ <br>

## Configure

There's also an opportunity to upload your own custom store logo via the interface.&#x20;

If required, you can at any time login to the merchant portal in order to change your logo or reset your existing API Key.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Generating a new API Key will make your existing API Key no longer work!&#x20;
{% endhint %}
