To create a Google Places API key to use with our Reviews plugin, follow the steps below.
1) Go to Google’s Cloud Console Billing page, and set up a new billing account to your Places API key. Don't worry, this will not charge you as every account gets £200 monthly free allowance and this should more than cover the requests.
2) Open the Google Maps Platform page.
3) From the drop-down menu at the top of the page, create a new project.
4) Enter a name for this project and click “Create“
5) Navigate to “Credentials” on the left side of the screen, then click the “Create Credentials” option, and select “API Key” (Make sure the correct project is selected on the drop-down menu at the top of the page).
6) Once your API key is active, you can copy it and send to us to put in the Reviews Plugin.
