You will need to generate marketplace credentials to connect your marketplace and complete sign-up.

Click on '+ Add a new application'.
Give the application a descriptive name (like twosided.io), and select ‘Integration API’.
Click ‘Add application’.
Important: Copy and paste the Client ID and Client secret to a safe place, like a password manager.
Think of the Client ID and secret as a sort of password to your marketplace that can be used through other services.

If you lose it, you will need to create a new application.
