# Get started with Kustom Checkout for Flowshop

This guide explains how to install and configure Kustom Checkout in your Flowshop store.

## 1. Apply for a Kustom merchant account

Start by applying for an agreement with Kustom [here](https://portal.kustom.co/onboarding/).

## 2. Complete verification (KYC)

After submitting your application:

1. Log in to the **Kustom Portal** using either SSO or the email address used in your application.
2. Provide any additional company information if requested.
3. Upload the required verification documents, for example:
  - Identification
  - Company registration documents


Kustom will review your application and approve your merchant account.

## 3. Generate your API credentials

Once your account has been approved:

1. Log in to the **Kustom Portal**.
2. Click **Integrations**.
3. Click **Generate new API key**.


This generates two credentials:

- **Username**
- **Password**


> Save these credentials in a secure location. You'll need them when connecting Kustom to Flowshop.


## 4. Install Kustom Checkout in Flowshop

Once you have your API credentials, you can install Kustom Checkout in Flowshop.

### Step 1 — Open the Apps section

1. Log in to your **Flowshop admin**.
2. Click **Apps** in the left menu.


### Step 2 — Install the Kustom app

1. Locate **Kustom** under payment providers.
2. Click **Install**.


### Step 3 — Enter your API credentials and configure the settings

After installation, open the Kustom settings and enter:

- **Merchant ID** (corresponds to the Key ID)
- **API Secret** (corresponds to the Password)


These are the same API keys generated in the Kustom Portal in step 3.

Before saving, verify the following settings:

- **Test Mode** should be disabled
- **Activate** should be enabled


You can optionally set a **minimum age requirement** if needed.

Click **Save**. Kustom Checkout is now connected to your Flowshop store.

## Age verification (optional)

- The minimum age verification feature must be activated by Kustom before it can be used.
- Age verification currently only works for **Sweden** and **Norway**.


To enable it, contact **merchant@kustom.co**.
