Cardly - How do I link my account?

Overview

To authenticate with Cardly, you need:

1. API Key — a test (test_) or live (live_) API key from your Cardly business portal.

This guide will show you how to create it.

Prerequisites

• A Cardly business account. If you don’t have one, sign up and confirm your email address. Standard business accounts have no mandatory paid subscription.

Step 1: Create an API key

1. Log in to your Cardly business portal.
2. In the menu bar, open Integrate and click API Keys.

3. On Manage API Keys, click New API Key.

4. A new key row appears with two keys:
   • Development: the test key, prefixed with test_. It can do everything a live key can but never performs mutations, so it never places real orders.
   • Production: the live key, prefixed with live_. It has no restrictions and places real orders.
5. To use the test key, click the copy icon next to Development.

6. To use the live key, open Actions > Reveal on the key row, then click the copy icon next to Production.

Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Cardly.
2. Enter your test or live key in the API Key field.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to Cardly.
