# Light Integration

Integrating Light with Sphere enables:\
a) seamless data imports, and\
b) real-time tax calculation.

This guide walks you through connecting your Light app to Sphere for a seamless, secure integration. It also explains how to generate your Sphere Tax API key within Sphere to enable accurate and reliable tax calculations.

### Part 1: Configure Data Synchronization from Light to Sphere

Follow the steps below to get started:

1. In your Sphere account, click on the **Connect** button on the Light tile.

3. Follow the steps to generate a new API key. Be sure to store the key securely, as it cannot be viewed again later. You will need to share this key with the Light team so they can configure it in your account.

4. Ensure all your 'Subscribed Regions' in Sphere have 'Tax Calculations' settings switched to Yes (see video [here](https://www.loom.com/share/6254e72b130c44808a59513046ee60ea?sid=463c87f3-0683-4622-a479-0f960620d332) on how to ensure this is done).
