Select the alpha-numeric text between stores and V3 without the slashes. That is your store hash.

![Save the value for store hash.](/files/-Lu-TXKEvg3Fwg71QKOS)

In the OAuth Scopes section, select all the "read-only" options and hit save. Daton doesn't require any write permissions to the store.

Once you hit save, you will be prompted to store the credentials to your local machine. Alternatively, you can take a note of the Client ID, Client Secret, and Access Token and save that information. These fields will only be shown once, so to avoid re-work, please copy the fields before you close the window.
