How you get started
1. Create an account
Sign up in a minute. You start in a sandbox with test payments and no real money.
2. Get a sandbox key
Create a key in the portal. It is shown once, so store it safely on your server.
3. Make a test payment
Send a payment request with your key and see the customer prompt result.
4. Handle callbacks
Get a signed callback when a payment succeeds or fails, and update your system.
Sandbox first. Test every outcome with no real money. A number ending 0000 is declined, 1111 stays pending, any other succeeds.
Reviewed go-live. When you are ready, request production access. We review your business and whitelist your server's IP address.
Safe retries. Send an Idempotency-Key with each request and a retry never charges a customer twice.
For developers
One short API to request a payment, check it, and get a signed callback when it ends. The full developer guide, code examples and test tools are inside your portal once you sign in.
