### Step 8: Configure API Key

Make sure the checkbox is selected to enable BlockBee plugin and that you get a valid API Key from our dashboard and paste it in the **API Key** field. This is mandatory, failing to do so will result in the plug-in to error out when trying to make an order.

You can also play around the settings a bit to make our WooCommerce plug-in fit your needs.

> **WARNING**
>**Important:** The API Key is mandatory. Without a valid API Key, the plugin will fail when customers try to make orders.
