== Installation ==
After successfully installing the Permate Connect Plugin, please follow these steps to integrate:
**Step 1:** Go to the **Settings** section.
**Step 2:** Select **Permate Connect**.
**Step 3:** If this is your first time accessing the Permate Connect interface, you need to enter the **API Key** and **Brand ID** for authentication. These two values are obtained from Permate. Once the authentication is successful, you will be taken to the main settings interface of Permate Connect.
**Step 4:** In the **Affiliate Program** section, there will be a list of all the offers you have created on Permate. You need to select one offer for your current website.
