Setting up the Kit Add-On

Pre-Requisites

Choosing Your Connection Method

The Kit Add-On offers two connection methods:

API Key (v4)
Available for all Kit accounts. This method has some limitations: it cannot use the creator network features and does not support the “additional tags” field.

OAuth
Available for paid Kit accounts only. This is the recommended method as it provides full access to all Kit features, including creator network integration and additional tag support.

Connecting with API Key

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard. In the left-side navigation menu, hover over Forms, then click Settings.
  2. From this page, click the Kit tab.
  3. Select API Key from the connection options and click Continue.

Once you have entered your API key and API secret, you’re ready to begin Creating a feed for the Kit Add-On.

Legacy Connection Method

If you previously connected using the v3 API method (API Key and API Secret), your connection will continue to work. However, this method is deprecated, and new connections should use either the v4 API Key or the OAuth method described above
