## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up to Connect">
    Here's how to get started:

    1. **Send an activation request:** Fill the API request form [here](https://tally.so/r/wzQYX1). Specify your use case and provide details about your product.
    2. **Get set up quickly:** Our team will get in touch to guide you through the next steps. Once approved, you'll get access to your [Business Dashboard](https://business.onboard.xyz).

    The Business Dashboard is your central portal for:

    * Generating your unique API key (which is used in the redirect link).
    * Configuring fees & additional settings for your integration.
    * Tracking your customers' completed onramp and offramp transactions.

    You'll also get access to a [sandbox](https://dev.business.onboard.xyz) where you can setup and test your integration in a development environment.

  <Step title="Choose Your Integration Path">
    Decide between the low-code solution for quick deployment, or the Native API integration for more flexibility and control.

    Both options require your API key for authentication.
