Step 4: Browse through the “Api Keys” section as illustrated in the screenshot below to get the API key

Advance Setup
You may have a business use case where you would like to change the original value of the exchange rate received from the API and add/subtract some threshold value to it. Refer to the screenshot below ,
Business Scenario Example: Say for example you have USD as your base currency and you want to transfer “X” amount to India in INR . The customer to whom you want to transfer has asked you to cover the transfer fees which is say for example “X+0.5” to the base currency exchange rate. In such a case you may go to “Extension Settings” and add +0.5 to the currency converted.
