You Must Create a GameWisp Channel to Register an Application

Don't forget, you need a GameWisp channel before you can successfully register an application on GameWisp. There is, however, no need to set up a detailed channel with tiers, benefits, etc.

Registering your Application

Registering your application entails generating client credentials. First create a channel on GameWisp. There is no need to setup a full GameWisp campaign (e.g., with tiers, benefits, etc.), but the channel must exist before client credentials can be generated.

Once a channel is created, you can generate client credentials by visiting your channel dashboard (https://gamewisp.com as a logged in user), clicking on Configuration from the subnav menu
