This Quickstart guides you through the key steps for integrating your application with Payvala. It helps you understand the integration process, identify the requirements, and follow the right path from initial setup to production.

Start by understanding the Payvala integration that matches your use case, then get the required access, build and test your integration, and complete the necessary steps before moving to production.

Payvala provides four core products for different integration needs. Explore each product to understand its purpose, capabilities, and how it can support your integration.

Payvala does not provide a self-service account signup process. To get access to Payvala products, APIs, and integration resources, contact the Payvala team and share your requirements.

The Payvala team will guide you through the required onboarding and access process based on your integration needs.

This journey explains the main steps for getting started with Payvala and connecting your application or business process with Payvala services. Whether you are a technical team member or a business user, these steps help you understand what happens from the first conversation with Payvala to using the integration in production.

10. Go Live

    10

    Once everything is ready, move the validated integration to the production environment and start using Payvala.

Use the environment that matches the current stage of your integration. Complete development and testing in the appropriate non-production environment before production use.

Do not use production credentials or production endpoints for development and testing.

Payvala API requests require authentication to verify that your application has permission to access Payvala services.

Your integration credentials are provided for the environment you are working with. Keep these credentials secure and never expose them in client-side code, public repositories, or application logs.

For detailed authentication requirements, credential usage, and API request examples, refer to the Authentication guide.

Once you have access and authentication configured, you can make your first API request. Use the API documentation and the endpoint provided for your integration and environment.

Webhooks let Payvala notify your application when relevant events occur, instead of requiring your application to continuously check for updates.

Where supported for your integration, configure a webhook endpoint so your application can process events as they happen.

Move to Production only after your integration has been implemented, tested, and validated in the required environments.

Before going live, review the following checklist to make sure your application, authentication, API integration, security, and production configuration are ready.

• Integration completed

  Your application implements the required Payvala APIs and integration functionality.

• Authentication verified

  Authentication has been configured and verified using the credentials required for your integration.

• API requests tested

  Requests and responses have been validated in sandbox.

• Error handling implemented

  Your application can handle API errors and unexpected responses according to the documented API behavior.

• Credentials secured

  Production credentials are stored securely and separated from non-production credentials.

• Production configuration reviewed

  Production endpoints and environment configuration have been reviewed.

• Final Validation Completed

  The integration has been fully tested and validated before being moved to the Production environment.
