VisionScaper works out of the box for basic design. Most extras need a key from an outside company. You only need the keys for the features you want. This checklist shows where each one goes.

• You need a WordPress administrator login for the website where VisionScaper is installed.
• Use https:// on your live site. Several providers refuse plain http:// addresses.
• Provider screens change often. Follow each provider’s current instructions to get a key. This manual only tells you where to paste it in VisionScaper.
• Prices and allowances shown inside VisionScaper settings are placeholders until you approve your own. Check each provider’s current pricing yourself.

Open WordPress admin → Settings → VisionScaper for items 1 to 10.

1. Basics. Fill in Business name, Short name, Website and “Send designs and leads to”.
2. Google Maps API key (optional). Gives Google address autocomplete and “Explore in 3D”. See Google Maps keys.
3. Google server key for the Route planner (optional). See Google Maps keys.
4. Google Client ID and Client secret (optional). For “Sign in with Google”. See Google sign-in.
5. Facebook App ID and App secret (optional). See Facebook sign-in.
6. Black Forest Labs API key. Needed for VisionScaper AI image tools. See Black Forest Labs FLUX key.

18. Zapier and API keys. See Connect other tools overview.

• Secret boxes show dots after you save. Leave the dots to keep the saved value. Type a new value to replace it.
• Do one service at a time and test it before moving on.
• Keep a private list of which account each key belongs to, so you can revoke it later.
• Never paste a secret key into a page, an email or a chat.

• A feature still looks greyed out: it usually means its key is missing or was pasted with a space. Paste again.
• A signed-out visitor sees AI tools greyed out by design. AI features need a signed-in customer.
• Scheduled things such as reminders and syncs rely on WordPress cron. See Cron, caching, SSL and REST troubleshooting.

• Google Maps keys (browser key and server key)
• Google sign-in for customers
• fal.ai key and what it powers
• Stripe setup (credits, storage and contractor payments)
• Twilio text messaging setup
• Email providers (Postmark, Resend, SendGrid, Amazon SES, site mail)
