# Creating Paddle Integration Credentials

This topic explains how to create Integration Credentials which you can then use to connect your Paddle Integrations with your Paddle system. See [Configuring Paddle Integrations](/guides/integrations/setting-up-integrations/configuring-paddle-integrations).

<Tip>
  **Tip: Paddle or Paddle (Sandbox Mode)?** The steps to create a Credential for authenticating an Integration with your Paddle *Sandbox environment* are the same, except you'll need to select **Paddle (Sandbox Mode)** as the destination.
</Tip>

**To create Paddle integration Credentials:**

1. Select **m3sh**:

The **Workflows** page opens.

2. Select **Integrations**. The **Integrations** page opens.
3. Select **Paddle**. The **Paddle Integrations** page opens.
4. On the **Credentials** panel, select **Configure new credentials**:

The **Create** pages opens.

5. Under **Credential details** enter:

* **Name**. Descriptive name for the Credential.
* **Destination**. This will be pre-selected for **Paddle**.
* **Api key**. Enter an Api key generated in the Paddle Console.

<Tip>
  **Tip: Paddle Sandbox Environment?** Alternatively, select **Paddle (Sandbox Mode)** for **Destination** if you want to use the Credential to authenticate with your Paddle *Sandbox environment*.
</Tip>

6. Select **Create credential**. You are returned to the **Paddle Integrations** page where the new Credential is listed on the **Credentials** panel:

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/m3ter/gUIxPnXImESOmGAO/images/IntegrationCredentials14A.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=gUIxPnXImESOmGAO&q=85&s=f09c854b8a971593840ba6e00549e7f0" alt="Integration Credentials14a" width="1189" height="291" data-path="images/IntegrationCredentials14A.png" />

* The Credential is now available for connecting your Integrations with Paddle. See [Configuring Paddle Integrations>Setting Up Authentication for the Integration](/guides/integrations/setting-up-integrations/configuring-paddle-integrations#setting-up-the-authentication-for-the-integration).
