# Create a BizPrint application for your WooCommerce store

Section: Set up

> Create an application in the BizPrint dashboard so your WooCommerce store can send print jobs to BizPrint with its own Public Key and Secret Key.

This page shows you how to create an [application](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#application) in the [BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-dashboard) for your WooCommerce store. It is for store owners, staff and agencies setting up the [BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-plugin-for-woocommerce). The application is the connection between your store and BizPrint, and it has its own [Public Key and Secret Key](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#public-key-and-secret-key).

The application is different from a [station](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#station). A station is the computer or Android device that prints. The application is where your orders come from. You need both.

## Before you start

- Have a BizPrint account. If you do not have one yet, follow [Create your BizPrint account](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/create-account/).
- Know the web address of your store, for example <https://example.com/>.

## Create the application

1. Sign in to the BizPrint dashboard in your web browser.
2. Click **Applications** in the menu. The **My Applications** list opens.
3. Click the plus (create) icon next to the **My Applications** heading. The **Create Application** screen opens. On the home page, you can also click the **+** on the **Applications** tile.
4. Type a name for the application in the **Name** field. Use a name you will recognize, for example your store name.
5. Type the address of your store in the **URL** field.
6. Click the **Platform** list.
7. Choose **WordPress**. WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so choose this option for a WooCommerce store.
8. Click the **API Version** list, which appears after you choose a platform.
9. Choose **REST API**. Do not choose **Legacy API \[Not recommended]**. It is the older connection and is no longer recommended. If your store already uses it, see [Move the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce from the Legacy API to the REST API](https://docs.getbizprint.com/developers/legacy-api-migration/).
10. Leave the [**Webhook URL**](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#webhook) field empty for now, or fill it in as described in [About the Webhook URL](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/create-woocommerce-application/#about-the-webhook-url) on this page.
11. Click **Create**.

BizPrint opens the page for your new application. It shows the **Name**, **URL**, **Platform** and **API Version**, and the application’s **Public Key** and **Secret Key**, each with a copy button.

If a message appears under a field:

1. Fix that field.
2. Click **Create** again.

For example, the **URL** must be a full web address that starts with http\:// or https\://.

On some plans, a checkbox appears when you have used all the applications your plan includes. To continue:

1. Read the note on the screen.
2. Tick the checkbox if you agree.
3. Click **Create**.

For plan details, see <https://getbizprint.com/pricing/>.

## About the Webhook URL

The **Webhook URL** is the address where BizPrint sends your store a notice when something changes, for example a [print job](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job)’s status. You can only use it with the **REST API** version.

You can create the application without it and add it later. After you install it, the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce shows the address to use in its **Webhook Url** field, under **Print Manager**, **Application**. See [Install the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/install-woocommerce-plugin/). When you have the address:

1. Open your application in the dashboard.
2. Paste the address into **Webhook URL**.
3. Click **Update**.

[Connect the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce to your BizPrint account](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/connect-woocommerce-plugin/) walks through this.

## Keep your keys safe

> **Caution**
>
> Treat the **Secret Key** like a password. Never email it, post it in a chat, or share it with anyone who does not need it. Copy it straight from the dashboard into the plugin.

You enter the **Public Key** and **Secret Key** in the plugin in the next step of your setup. You can always open the application in the dashboard again to copy them. To open it:

1. Click **Applications** in the menu.
2. Click your application in the **My Applications** list. On a phone, tap the tick or cross icon in its row instead, because tapping elsewhere in the row does not open it.

## Next step

Install the plugin in WordPress. See [Install the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/install-woocommerce-plugin/).
