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 proceed with accepting 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.

The following steps narrate how to generate your API Keys:

Step 1: Login to Maya Manager Sandbox .

Step 2: Go to the menu on the left side of the screen and look for API Keys.

Step 3: On the main navigation, select the name of the Merchant that you registered earlier. Then generate the API key by clicking Generate API Key.

Step 4: After being redirected to another screen, create keys for both Public and Secret policies.

Step 5: Click Create then your 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.

Step 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 verify your identity as an authorized entity accessing Maya's endpoints, API Authentication must be performed during transaction requests.

Authentication is done via HTTP Basic Authentication. Review the API endpoint and check which type of API key is required, whether it is a Public (pk-....) or Secret (sk-....) API key.

To identify what type of API key is required for an endpoint, look for reminders or callouts that look like below:

The following steps narrate how to use your API Keys:

1. Use the appropriate or required key as the Username, followed by a ':' (colon) and then the Password which should be left blank. If your API key is pk-Z0OSzLvIcOI2UIvDhdTGVVfRSSeiGStnceqwUE7n0Ah, the resulting string is:

pk-Z0OSzLvIcOI2UIvDhdTGVVfRSSeiGStnceqwUE7n0Ah:

2. Apply Base64 encoding to the resulting string from Step 1. Using the sample value above, the Base64 encoded string will be:

cGstWjBPU3pMdkljT0kyVUl2RGhkVEdWVmZSU1NlaUdTdG5jZXF3VUU3bjBBaDo=

3. Indicate the authorization method i.e. “Basic” followed by a space then the Base64 encoded string in Step 2. An example is shown below:

Authorization: Basic cGstWjBPU3pMdkljT0kyVUl2RGhkVEdWVmZSU1NlaUdTdG5jZXF3VUU3bjBBaDo=

5 Proceed to the 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. At this stage, you will be proceeding to your development and testing in the Sandbox Environment.

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.
