# VTEX - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with VTEX, you will need:

1. **Account Name** — Your VTEX store account name (the subdomain of your VTEX Admin URL).
2. **App Key** — Your VTEX application key (starts with `vtexappkey-`).
3. **App Token** — The application token associated with your App Key.

This guide will walk you through finding your **Account Name** and generating your **App Key** and **App Token**.

### Prerequisites

* A VTEX store account with administrator access.
* The **User Administrator - RESTRICTED** role or a custom role with **Edit API Keys** permission.

### Step 1: Finding Your Account Name

Your account name is the subdomain of your VTEX Admin URL. For example, if you access your store at `https://mystore.myvtex.com`, your account name is `mystore`.

### Step 2: Generating an API Key

1. In the top bar of the VTEX Admin, click your profile avatar (the first letter of your email), then click **Account Settings** > **API Keys**.
2. Make sure you are on the **Generated** tab.
3. Click **+ Generate Key**.
4. Fill in the **Key identification** field with a name to identify the API key.
5. Select the **roles** that will be associated with the key. Select only the roles required for the integration — avoid overly permissive roles.
6. Click **Generate**.
7. A single-access link to view the new token will appear. Click **Copy** to copy the link to your clipboard. The link is valid for 24 hours and can only be accessed once.
8. Click **Close**, then open the copied link.
9. Click **Copy** to copy the **App Token** to your clipboard. Store it securely — this secret is only shown once.

Your **App Key** (e.g. `vtexappkey-mystore-ABCDEF`) is shown in the **Generated** tab of the API Keys page.

### Step 3: Enter Your Credentials in Nango

Once you have your **Account Name**, **App Key**, and **App Token**:

1. Open the Nango connection form for VTEX.
2. Enter your **Account Name**, **App Key**, and **App Token** in the corresponding fields.
3. Click **Connect** to complete authentication.
