Authentication

The QuataPay Payment API uses API key-based authentication. You will need a merchant account to obtain your credentials.

How to get your API credentials
  1. Log in to your QuataPay merchant account
  2. Navigate to Dashboard → API Settings
  3. Copy your Client ID (Primary Key)
  4. Copy your Secret Key — treat this like a password
  5. Use both in your /authentication/token request to get a Bearer token
Client ID

Also called Primary Key. Identifies your merchant account. Safe to use as a reference.

Secret Key

Used to authenticate API calls. Never share it or commit it to source control.

Keep it secret: Never expose your Secret Key in frontend code, mobile apps, or public repositories. Make all API calls from your server.
