How do I find my organization subdomain?

Your subdomain is the first part of your Commerce Layer URL. For example, in 'my-store.commercelayer.io', the subdomain is 'my-store'.

What credentials do I need?

You need an Integration Client ID and Client Secret. Generate them in the Commerce Layer dashboard under **Settings > Applications**.

Why are prices shown in cents?
