> Step-by-step guide to setting up SEKO.

* SEKO's [integration with Starshipit](https://www.starshipit.com/partner/seko) allows you to use all of [Starshipit's features](https://www.starshipit.com/features) including generation of packing slips and shipping labels, auto-correction of addresses, branded tracking and notifications and many more.
* This article outlines how to set up Seko as a courier into your Starshipit account.

### 1. Request your API key from Seko

Contact SEKO Logistics Support by submitting a ticket [here](https://seko.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/31/group/95). Select OmniParcel, then include your account number. They will then provide you with your API key.

### 2. Add your API key in Starshipit

1. In Starshipit, navigate to **Settings** > **Couriers** > **Add a new courier** > **Seko**.
2. Tick **Enable Seko**.
3. Populate the Access Key field with the API key supplied by Seko.
4. Click **Save**.
:::note
There is no need to set up the SEKO product codes that you use. Starshipit will automatically call SEKO's systems and retrieve the available product codes when required. Default products can still be assigned via rules though.
