2 Learn the Environments

Maya offers its partners the ability to integrate with Maya solutions through the Sandbox and Production environments.

• Sandbox - The Sandbox environment provides an instance for integrating Maya solutions and testing development builds, without the risk of impacting live transactions and real customers. During this testing phase, you may use our Sandbox Credentials and Cards .
• Production - The Production environment represents the live setting where actual transactions will result in real charges. To conduct live transaction testing in the Production environment, you will need to use real cards and e-wallet accounts.

3 Generate your API Keys

Before you can start accepting online payments, you need to generate and set up your API keys. In technical terms, API keys serve the purpose of securely identifying and authenticating your transaction requests to Maya. The API keys you generate will then be used to establish payment integration on your platform, enabling you to accept online payments.

Generate your API keys by following the steps provided below:

1. Login in to Maya Business Manager.
2. On the sidebar, navigate through “Solutions” and choose an activated online payment solution; for example “Maya Checkout”.

3. Click “Set up Online Payments”.

4. On the Set up Online Payments form, fill out the website name field, choose where will you be using the Maya Checkout, and select the platform you are using. Click Submit.

5. Unencrypted API keys will be shown on the screen. This is the only time that you can visibly see this; once you exit, only the masked values will be reflected.
6. Copy and store the generated public and secret API keys in a secure and encrypted location. Do not store your keys anywhere that unauthorized personnel can access.

4 Authenticate with our APIs

For every Maya solution, there are multiple API endpoints that you as a Partner can utilize. To establish your identity as an authorized entity accessing Maya's endpoints, API Authentication is necessary when making transaction requests.

In the case of Maya's Plugin solutions, the generated API keys are configured within the dashboard of the utilized Maya Business Plugin. The plugin manages the communication and handling of transaction authentication requests with Maya.

5 Proceed to the Payment Solutions Guide

Now that you have generated your API keys, proceed to the setup guides of your Online Payments . Select the Maya solution you have activated and read the guides.

6 Implement Webhooks to know payment statuses

After your customer performs a payment from your application or platform, that transaction is sent to Maya for processing. Maya uses webhooks to notify you of specific events that occur during the payment request. Payment events include successful payments, a customer decides not to authorize the payment, or when the payment fails.

7 Go Live

Once you are done with your tests on the Sandbox Environment, it is time to move to Production.

1. Generate your Production keys. Refer to Generate your API Keys.
2. Set up your Production Webhooks. See Webhooks for Payment Solutions for guidance.
3. Be ready for your Post Production Testing. Once launched in production, prepare the following:
   • For initiating transactions: Download the Maya App (For Pay with Maya) and/or use real cards.
   • Production launch of your application/platform.
