# Account, keys, and plans

Most paths need a WEARFITS account. The Shopify shoe app does not.

## Who signs in where

| You are launching | Account | Credential on the store |
|-------------------|---------|-------------------------|
| Shopify shoe try-on, and Shopify apparel when that access is already on the store | None. Stay in Shopify Admin. Shopify bills you. | None. The theme embed is enough. |
| WooCommerce shoes | [dash.wearfits.com](https://dash.wearfits.com) | API key, pasted in **WooCommerce → WEARFITS Try-On**, or `WEARFITS_SHOES_TRYON_API_KEY` in `wp-config.php` |
| WooCommerce clothing iframe | A Dashboard key is not required for the standard iframe | The plugin reads the WooCommerce product |
| Own website, photo-to-3D, clothing API | Dashboard account | `X-API-Key` on server-side calls to [api.wearfits.com](https://api.wearfits.com) |
| AR library and shoe GLB upload | Dashboard account | `Authorization: Bearer` on [dev.wearfits.com](https://dev.wearfits.com), or a Dashboard session in the browser. Not the `X-API-Key` header, and not `api.wearfits.com`. |
| Shoe size recommendation | Dashboard key is **not** what the product page sends | A public `clientId`. WEARFITS registers it. See [Recommend a shoe size](../shoes/recommend-size.md). |

Sign-in to the Dashboard is a magic link to a business email. There is no password. The full click-path is the [Dashboard user guide](../dashboard/user-guide.md).

## API keys

Create a key in the Dashboard after the account has product access. The full secret is shown once. Store it on your server or in the plugin settings.

- Send it as `X-API-Key` from your server.
- Do not put it in storefront JavaScript, a theme file that shoppers download, or a public repo.
- The shoe-size snippet uses `clientId`, not this key.
- Shopify merchants never create one.

A new account without a paid entitlement can open Pricing and Activity. Product tools and API keys stay closed until access is active. Quotas for try-ons, products, and keys are shown in the Dashboard for the plan you are on. Names there are FREE, STARTER, and PRO.

## Which price list applies

Three lists exist because three channels bill you. Use the one for the channel you installed.

| Channel | Where the charge appears | Where the numbers are written |
|---------|--------------------------|--------------------------------|
| Shopify app | Shopify's bill | [Shopify app overview](../shopify-app/overview.md) (Bronze, Silver, Gold) |
| Dashboard (own site, WooCommerce shoes, API) | The Dashboard, via Stripe | The Dashboard itself, and [wearfits.com/pricing](https://wearfits.com/pricing) |
| A commercial AR agreement outside those two | Whatever you signed | [wearfits.com/pricing](https://wearfits.com/pricing) |

If a page and the Dashboard disagree, the channel that is actually billing you wins. Confirm [wearfits.com/pricing](https://wearfits.com/pricing) before you buy AR outside Shopify.

## Hosts, in one place

| Host | What it is |
|------|------------|
| [dash.wearfits.com](https://dash.wearfits.com) | Account, keys, usage, invoices |
| [api.wearfits.com](https://api.wearfits.com) | Shoe 3D, clothing twin, clothing fitting, clothing size |
| [dev.wearfits.com](https://dev.wearfits.com) | AR library and the `/tryon` viewer |
| [tryon.wearfits.com](https://tryon.wearfits.com) | Clothing app, shoe-photo sandbox at `/shoes` |
| [size.wearfits.com](https://size.wearfits.com) | Foot scan and the size widget |

The developer map repeats this with the matching guide for each host: [For developers](../developers/index.md).
