API KEY(Growth and Scale Vendors):
The API key is an optional feature used with 3rd party platforms to create integrations with some tools and platforms.
Only Growth and Scale Vendors have access to account API keys.
As a vendor to change the API key, you can use the Reset button.
Please note that resetting your API key would cause your previous key to stop functioning. Any API call and custom-made code which included the current API key you are using will be affected by this change. Having your API key changed creates a new encrypted value related to your account.
Warning: CHANGING YOUR API KEY IS IRREVERSIBLE.
Once changed there would be no option to return your previously encrypted API key.

Date and Time Preferences:
This option allows vendors to choose how date and time will be formatted throughout the platform as well as customer email notifications.
Vendors can choose between showing the date as:
- Month / Day / Year
- Day / Month / Year
- Year / Month / Day
And for the time format vendors can choose a 12-hour format, or a 24-hour format.
Subscription Dunning:
If you are selling products with a recurring billing amount a subscription will be created for the customer.
If the customer has a failed billing attempt charge, you can choose the time periods to email the customer to update their subscription billing.
There are 4 billing retry attempts in total, the first attempt would be the regular rebill charge, while all subsequent attempts would be counted as a dunning attempt. In the meantime, the customer’s subscription will be marked as Delinquent.
On the final attempt, the subscription will cancel if the customer has not updated their billing.
Once the customer’s payment has failed, by default, they would receive an email letting them know of the payment failure and asking them to update their billing details, and the final attempt would let them know that the subscription has been cancelled in case the payment was not processed.
You are able to edit the Update Billing Method emails for each of the 3 attempts by going to Configure > Email Notifications and choosing the corresponding template.
More information about editing transactional emails can be found in this article: https://support.paykickstart.com/knowledge-base/editing-transactional-email-templates/
SCA Reminders:
This option is for vendors operating form the EU with EU customers.
You can set how many reminders customers get to confirm their billing in compliance with SCA
