To get started using Galaxy Store with RevenueCat, you need to set up your app account and create an Access Token so RevenueCat can validate purchases and perform other actions.

## Create a Galaxy App

### Step 1: Create Your App in RevenueCat

1. Create a new app in RevenueCat and select the Galaxy Store as your platform.
2. Enter your app's name and package name.

### Step 2: Create an Access Token

To allow RevenueCat to access the Galaxy Store Developer API on your behalf, you need to create a Service Account and provide its credentials.

1. Sign in to the [Galaxy Store Seller Portal](https://seller.samsungapps.com/) **with an admin account**. If you are not using an admin account, the UI required for the next steps may not be visible.

2. Click on **Assistance** > **API Service**

3. Click **Create Service Account**

4. Select both **Publishing & ITEM** and **GSS (Galaxy Store Statistics System)**, then click **Create**.

5. From the Service account created window, click **Download Key** to save the private key to a file. Additionally, copy the **Service Account ID**. Treat this key like a password and store it securely.

6. In the RevenueCat dashboard, enter your **Service Account ID** and upload your **Private Key**.
