Coinsnap API Key
This key is utilized to link a plugin with Coinsnap. An API key is like a special password that allows two software applications to talk to each other. Just like you might change your regular password for security reasons or if you think it might have been compromised, sometimes you need to get a new API key.
“Regenerating” an API key means creating a new one and deactivating the old one. It’s a way to ensure that your connection remains secure. If someone had unauthorized access to your old API key, they won’t be able to use it once you’ve regenerated it.

If you want to use Coinsnap in a Shopify store, you have to enter the Shopify data here.
In the first line you enter the URL of your Shopify store.
