This guide will help you identify the steps required to use Flexiti’s APIs and plugins.
Environments
Developers have access to three different environments: TRAINING, MERCHANT INTEGRATION, and PRODUCTION.
All API requests exist in TRAINING, MERCHANT INTEGRATION, and PRODUCTION environments. All objects - customers, plans, transactions, etc. created in one environment do not exist in the others.
Our TRAINING environment:
For most Online API and Plugin implementations, our Training environment will be the best environment to develop your Flexiti project in.
This environment is a sandbox for testing that uses the same code base as our current production environment.
Transactions and customer accounts generated in this environment are treated as test objects and is test data is scrubbed daily.
| Note |
|---|
Maintenance windows in our Training environment will be communicated ahead of time. |
Our MERCHANT INTEGRATION environment:
For most POS API implementations, our Merchant Integration environment will be the best environment to develop your Flexiti project in.
This environment is a sandbox for integrating new features for upcoming Flexiti releases.
We introduce pre-release code to this environment to give Merchants an opportunity to integrate the new features and functionality ahead of our Production release.
| Note |
|---|
Our Merchant Integration environment has a standing maintenance window scheduled Monday and Wednesday mornings. Implementation teams can expect some instability during this time. |
Our PRODUCTION environment:
This environment is the “Live” production environment.
Customer accounts generated in this environment hit the Credit Bureau and any Transactional data generated is real.
| Note |
|---|
Maintenance windows in our Production environment will be communicated ahead of time. |
Authentication
The Flexiti API uses API keys to authenticate requests. Your keys consist of a Client ID and a Client Secret. You can view and manage your API keys in our Developer PortalPortals.
Every account is provided with two sets of keys. One for testing in our TRAINING environment and one for running live transactions in our PRODUCTION environment.
Obtaining your Flexiti API Keys
Go to our Developer Portal
Create a Developer Portal Account
Step 1: Click Sign in
...
Step 2: Click Create one
...
The first step towards implementation would be to reach out implementation@flexiti.com to create an account in the Flexiti Developer Portal.
Upon setting up your account you will be provided with a set of API keys (Client Secret and Client ID) for our training environment. You will use these keys during your implementation, and any applications generated using these keys will be for testing purposes only.
Be sure to keep them secure!
