🔐 How to Create an OpenAI API Key for Importify AI Features

Importify’s AI tools (like product title rewriting, smart translation, and content optimization) require an OpenAI API key. Follow these steps to activate your AI features by connecting your OpenAI account.

Quick Steps

1. Sign Up or Log In to OpenAI

   • Go to https://platform.openai.com/signup

   • Create an account or log in using Google or email.

2. Create a New API Key

   • Visit: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys

   • Click “+ Create new secret key”

   • Name it something like Importify AI

   • Copy the key and save it (you won’t see it again!)

3. Add a Payment Method

   • Go to https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/payment-methods

   • Click “+ Add payment method” and enter your credit/debit card info

4. Set Monthly Usage Limits (Optional but Recommended)

   • Navigate to https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/limits

   • Under "Hard Limit", enter the maximum you’re willing to spend monthly

   • Under "Soft Limit", set an amount at which you’ll receive a warning email

5. Paste Your API Key into Importify

   • You'll be prompted to enter your API key when you try to use the AI features.

   • Paste your OpenAI API key into the field provided

   • Click Save

💡 Tips

• You’re only billed for actual usage by OpenAI—not a flat fee.

• You can update or delete your key anytime from your OpenAI dashboard. (if you update your key in openai, do not forget to update it in the importify app)

🛠 Troubleshooting

• Key not working? Double-check for extra spaces or line breaks.

• Getting Exceeded usage error? Review your limits and raise the cap at Billing Limits
