The Klaviyo API Key is a vital component for integrating your Shopify store with the Klaviyo platform, enabling you to send and receive data seamlessly.
What is a Klaviyo API Key?
Klaviyo API keys are unique identifiers that allow you to authenticate and access your account data through the API. There are two types of API keys in Klaviyo:
Public API Key (Site ID):
This is a shorter key that identifies your Klaviyo account and is safe to share publicly. It is primarily used for client-side tracking of events and user activity.
Private API Key:
This key starts with "pk_" and provides full access to your Klaviyo account data. It should be kept secure and never exposed in client-side code or public repositories, as it allows read-and-write access to your account data.
How to find your Klaviyo API Key
Log into Your Klaviyo Account: Go to the Klaviyo website and sign in using your credentials.
Access Account Settings: Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the dashboard. From the dropdown menu, select “Account” to navigate to your account settings.
Locate the API Keys Section: In the left sidebar, click on the “API Keys” tab. Here, you will see any existing keys as well as options to create new ones.
