How to get an Anthropic (Claude) API key

To use Generate with AI with Claude, connect your own Anthropic API key. Here's how to create one - it takes a minute.

Create the key

  1. Go to the Anthropic Console and sign in (or create an account): console.anthropic.com.
  2. Open Settings -> API keys - direct link: console.anthropic.com/settings/keys.
  3. Select Create Key, give it a name (for example Workflow Functions), and copy the key - it starts with sk-ant-. You can only see it once, so copy it now.
  4. Make sure your Anthropic account has credit or a billing method - generation calls are billed to your account.

Connect it

  1. In your Shopify admin, open Workflow Functions -> Developer -> Connections.
  2. Paste the key into the Anthropic (Claude) card and select Save key.

Your key is encrypted at rest and used only for generation - it's never shown again and never runs inside your functions. Then open any function's Code tab and use Generate with AI.
