API keys for testing and production environments.
To start using the payment gateway, you'll need to obtain your API keys from the dashboard. Ensure you use the test key for development and the live key for production. The public key and the secret key are the two distinct API keys that are automatically generated for you.
In order to obtain the intended outcomes of the payment gateway integration, the public key can be used to test the payment gateway during integration; however, it should not be used in a production setting.
The secret key is an important and delicate key that must be kept private and hidden from prying eyes. This is used to validate activity and transactions on the payment gateway in your production environment. When you are ready to launch your product, you should utilize this to replace the public key.
The api keys can be obtained from these locations in your merchant portal.
- Navigate to the get started/landing page. After logging in successfully, scroll down to the API Keys section.This contains the public key, and in order to safeguard the secret key, it is hashed.
- Navigate to the Settings tab by going to Merchant Settings > API Keys & Webhooks.
