If you have decided to make a custom integration to the payever platform through one of our APIs, you will have to authenticate your api requests for your business. Once you decide to go live with your integration, you are required to generate your production keys in order to go live. To do so, please first make sure to create a business and familiarize with the payever platform. You can find additional resources to get started here.
In order to authorize your requests you must provide an access token that is tied to your unique set of API keys. This set of API keys includes the following three keys:
- Client ID: A unique 32-character hexadecimal string identifying your store.
- Client Secret: A 256-bit value associated with your Client ID, used for authorizing access to payever APIs.
- Business UUID: A unique business-identifier on the payever platform required for certain endpoints, we recommend always implementing it along the other two keys.
Below you can find a short video that showcases how to generate these keys in your business, as well as step-by-step instructions.
