# Set up Whop

> Where your Whop API key and business ID are

Whop takes payments on its own checkout page, into your Whop balance.

## In Whop

1. In your business's dashboard, open the [Developer](https://whop.com/dashboard/developer) page, and create an API key. Give it the Admin role, or the permissions to manage checkouts, payments and webhooks. Copy it when Whop shows it.
2. Note your business's ID, which starts with `biz_`. It is in your dashboard's address: `whop.com/dashboard/biz_...`.

There is nothing else to set up in Whop: saving puts Shoply's webhook in your business.

Whop's sandbox is a separate environment with a dashboard and keys of its own. Its keys look like live ones, and Shoply works out which kind you pasted.

## In Shoply

1. In your Shoply dashboard, open **Settings**, then **Payment Methods**.
2. Under **Add a Payment Method**, find **Whop** and press **Connect**.
3. Paste the key into **API Key** and the ID into **Business ID**.
4. Press **Test Connection** to try what you pasted, then **Connect App**.

How Whop works once it is connected, at the checkout and on an order, is in [Payment methods](/guides/payment-methods.md#whop).
