How to add Token Google Maps API? Bitrix24 App - Maps Mobile

ATTENTION! When using the test (demo) version, you no longer need to enter the Google API Token! We've made it easier to install the app so you can test it seamlessly and without any problems!
Google API Token will need to be activated only after the trial period expires and/or the license key is purchased.

In order to successfully generate the API code, you need to create a paid google account (business account).
IMPORTANT: you will be able to customize the limits, and if you do not exceed the limits (see below), then you will not have to pay for usage, but you still need to connect a billing account.

1) Follow the link to the Google Cloud Platform Console. Sign in to your regular Google account.
2) Go to the "Billing" tab, select the "Manage Billing Accounts" option, then "Add billing account".
3) Next, we fill in the data in 3 steps: we indicate the country, phone number (and the verification code that will come to it).
And in the third step, enter information about the company.
! You can enter the data of the company in which the employee works. It is also possible to enter random values and everything will still work.

Fill in the fields: Tax info - you can enter VAT (NIP) of your company, or you can enter any 9-digit number. After filling in, click “Start trial period”.
IMPORTANT! Connecting (or using) a business account and a payment card is a mandatory step for setting up the correct operation of the appl! You will have no additional costs from Google while adhering to the free tier restrictions.

Next, we fill out a small questionnaire from Google and return to the main interface of the Google Cloud Platform.
