# Configuring your Account

Once you have your account created, you are now ready to start adding shopping carriers and configure 


**We are going to need access to a working account to finish this… like vinnies?**


* Go to your ShipStation dashboard using the following link: [__https://shipstation.auth0.com/login__](https://shipstation.auth0.com/login)  
    
   


* Each shipping carrier will need to be connected to ShipStation before it can be used. They each have their own way of connecting, some have API keys that are used, some make a direct connection to ShipStation. When adding a carrier, ShipStation will provide instructions on how to setup the connection.   
     
   


* We need the API Key and API Secret keys accessible from the API Settings page. Click the Cog icon to access account settings, then click API Settings on the left   
     
     
  Upon initially arriving at this page the keys will have to be generated.   
     
     
  They can be pasted into the ShipStation options screen within ecom:   
     
   


:::info
The Purolator development key is incompatible with ShipStation. Only the activation key and courier account number will work.
