# Creating settings
Our settings feature lets you create merchant-configurable settings. These settings will show when a merchant activates your integration in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.

You can use values merchants enter as variables in any request or a request header. These settings are often used to ask the merchant questions like:
* Do your orders order contain alcohol?
* Do your orders contain fragile items?
* Should we ask for ID on delivery?
## Creating a setting
You can choose between a few setting types:
* Text field
* Checkbox (True/False)
* Select
* Password
1. Go to the App Setup page.

## Accessing settings in requests
Each setting will have its unique handle. You will see the handle below the setting name.
