# Sevdesk

# 🚨 PREREQUISITES

* You must be on the **“Buchhaltung Pro”** plan in sevdesk.
* Only **Germany** is supported at the moment.

If the company is registered in **Austria**, contact us before proceeding (support for other geographies coming later).

# 🛠 PREPARATION

### Generate the sevdesk API key

1. Log in to your **sevdesk** account.
2. Go to **Extensions** (*Erweiterungen*) → **API**.
3. Create a new API key.

You will be asked to re-enter your password before the token is displayed.

Copy the API key and keep it — you’ll need it in the next step.
