Ready to start accepting payments on your platform? You can easily enable your API access through your Atoa business app or dashboard. Let’s get started!
1. Go to Settings
Head over to the Settings page in your Atoa account and select API Access.
2. Choose Your Environment
You’ll see two toggle buttons: Sandbox and Production.
-
Sandbox is your testing ground. Use this to check how your payment process works and make sure that your payments are going to the right account.
-
Production is for when you’re ready to go live and start accepting payments from your clients.
3. Share Your URL
When you toggle either Sandbox or Production, you’ll need to enter a URL. This is where your clients will be redirected after they make their payments.
Note: When you paste or type out your URL, don't forget to include http:// or https:// in the beginning.
4. Access Secret Key
Your Access Secret key will be hidden. You can either ‘Copy’ or ‘Share’ this key, but remember, Atoa doesn’t store this information. Keep it safe and don’t share it with anyone you don’t trust.
5. Finish Up
Click on ‘Close,’ and it’s done! You’ve successfully enabled your API access.

Simply click the toggle button and select 'Disable' to confirm. This will invalidate your Access Secret key, and you’ll need to follow the steps mentioned above to enable your API access again.
