# Generating API keys & Enabling Services

## Generating API keys

Navigate to the **Settings** section of your Lamba app. Scroll and locate the **API keys** section shown below. Click on the **New Keys** to generate your API keys. It is important to copy your keys to somewhere safe since you won't have access to them as soon as you close the modal:

Your **Encryption Key** is used for webhook interactions with your webhook server. When Lamba communicates with your server, you must verify that the encryption key matches the one in your server's environmental variable before finalising a payment action or other kind of actions. You can, at any point in time, change your encryption key to a new value, but make sure to update the new value in your server.

### Enabling Services

You can enable or disable services your app needs to operate on. This helps you control unauthorized use of services you never intended for your app.&#x20;

Simply locate the **Enabled Services** section in your app's **Settings** tab. By default, all services are enabled, but you can disable services you don't intend using at the moment:
