Using Your VPAY API Key

Learn how to generate, use, and secure your VPAY API key, a crucial part of integrating with the platform.

API keys are used to authenticate your application when making requests to VPAY endpoints like:

• Initiating payments
• Verifying transaction status
• Managing merchant settings

They should be treated as sensitive credentials and never exposed publicly.

To generate a new API key:

1. Log into your VPAY Dashboard
2. Navigate to Developer Settings
3. Click "Generate API Key"
4. Choose the scope (Test or Production)
5. Copy the key immediately — it will not be shown again
