Authentication Flow

Authentication Flow​

Use this flow:

Developer
  -> Sign in with PayWise Identity (pw-identity)
      -> open Sandbox Console
          -> create/manage API keys
              -> call PayWise API

ELI5: what this means​

Think of it as a simple 4-step handoff:

  1. You sign in through Identity (the trusted login service).
  2. Identity gives you tokens for your signed-in session.
  3. You open the Sandbox Console and create your sandbox API key.
  4. You call the API with that key and required headers.

Sandbox vs Production choice​

  • Building integration now: use sandbox-identity.paywise.co and sandbox-api.paywise.co
  • Going live: use identity.paywise.co and api.paywise.co
  • Public docs send you to Sandbox Console first: https://sandbox-dashboard.paywise.co

Where API keys come from​

  • Sandbox API keys are created and managed in the Sandbox Console.
  • Production dashboard access is provisioned separately after approval.
