Connecting Recurly with Leapfin is very simple, and overall should not take more than *2-3 minutes*. There are two pieces of information we need to import your Recurly data: your **Recurly subdomain** and your **Recurly Private API key**. Please follow the instructions below step-by-step:

###### Step 1: Log into your Recurly dashboard

URL: [https://recurly.com](https://recurly.com)

###### Step 2: Get Recurly Subdomain

On the left side navigation menu, please go to **Configuration > Site Settings**. Record the Recurly **Subdomain**.

###### Step 3: Get Recurly API Key: Part 1

Under the left side navigation menu, go to **Developers > API Credentials**. You can give us the Default API Key, but we recommend adding a new API key for Leapfin so you can manage access specifically for Leapfin, so please click on **“Add Private API Key”**.

###### Step 4: Get Recurly API Key: Part 2

We recommend the following settings:

- **Key Name:** Leapfin
- **Read Only:** Checked
- **Application Using this Key:** Other…
- **Application Name:** Leapfin

Then click **Save Changes**

###### Step 5: Get Recurly API Key: Part 3

Copy the Private API Key that you just created.

###### Step 6: Enter Subdomain and API Key into Leapfin

- Log into Leapfin: [https://app.leapfin.com/login](https://app.leapfin.com/login)
- Click on your company name on the top right corner, and go to [Integrations](https://app.leapfin.com/integrations).
- Select Recurly, and enter your **Subdomain** and **Private API Key** accordingly:

That’s it! It may take some time for your first import depending on your volume of transactions. Let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help!
