#### Step 2: Identify your API subdomain

ShipBob uses different subdomains depending on the environment:

| Environment | Subdomain     |
| ----------- | ------------- |
| Production  | `api`         |
| Sandbox     | `sandbox-api` |

#### Step 3: Enter your credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your **Personal Access Token**:

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with ShipBob (Personal Access Token).
2. Enter your **Personal Access Token** and **API Subdomain** in their respective fields.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
