   • API Path - This is the Base URL of the Lightspeed application you are using.
   • Client ID - This is the ID obtained authorization from the user which is generated in the application.
   • Client Secret - A secret key that establishes the ownership of the Consumer Key generated by you.

   • Auth URL - This URL obtains the user authorization for Consumer access.

4. To register for an OAuth client, use the OAuth Client Registration Page. You can view the below screen with the fields for API Client Details & Contact Person.
5. The following are the details you need to provide for completing the Registration Process. For API Client Details:
