In order to integrate with Metrc users need to generate an API in Metrc and validate that key in Dutchie POS. API keys can be generated for an entire organization or for a specific user. API keys generated for an entire organization are typically for an admin or owner. API keys generated for a specific user allow you to track the actions such as inventory adjustments taken within Dutchie POS and tie those actions to a specific user in Metrc. To validate an API Key:

In Metrc:

1. Log in to Metrc.
   
2. From the user dropdown, select API Keys. 
3. Click the Generate button.
   
4. Copy the API key to your clipboard.

In Dutchie POS:

1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Metrc.
2. Paste the key you copied from Metrc into the API Key field. 
3. Update your license number with the exact license number in Metrc, including the format.
   
4. Select Validate Key. You should see success in the relevant areas for your Metrc instance. IE; Retailers do not need plants and harvests.
   
5. In the event of failures, go to Metrc and regenerate the API key.
6. Enter the new API key into Dutchie POS.
