Coinsnap API Key
This key is used to connect a plugin to Coinsnap. An API key is like a special password that enables two software applications to communicate with each other. Just as you would change a normal password for security reasons or if you believe it has been compromised, you can create a new API key here.
Regenerating an API key means creating a new key and deactivating the old one. This ensures that the connection remains secure. If someone had unauthorized access to the old API key, they will no longer be able to use it once you have regenerated it.

In the second line, enter the Shopify API Key and then the Shopify Admin API Access Token.
