Please see this link for an introduction to RESTful web services. Also see our Sample Rest Client Page for sample code.

2. Paga Authentication Details

The PAGA Merchant REST Service API uses API keys to authenticate requests. As of this time, Paga Merchant authentication details have to be obtained directly from Paga. That will change in the near future.

STEP 1:

The steps required to obtain authentication details are outlined below.

Create a Paga Business account

Send an email to the Paga Operations Support team.

You will be contacted by a Paga representative that will provide you with the information you require.
Once you have this setup, you're ready to start using the merchant services.

STEP 2:
If you have done STEP 1, you can follow the steps below to get your Public key, Secret key/Password and Hmac.

Login to your Paga Business Account

Go to Manage Account, Click on Manage API Keys.
