Step 1 – Create a Secret API Key in Your Checkout.com Account
For added data security, use a secret API key to connect your Checkout.com and Pagos accounts. If you don’t already have one, you’ll need to create one in the Checkout.com dashboard. Log into your Checkout.com account, then follow the process outlined in Checkout.com’s documentation to locate your API keys. While following the instructions in this guide, keep in mind the following:
When selecting an API key, select Secret API key and add a description that identifies the key as a Pagos key
Under Scope, navigate from Default to Customize and select the following checkboxes:
balances:view
disputes:view
files
financial-actions:view
flow:events
flow:workflows
gateway
payments:search
reports
reports:view
risk
You’ll be asked to pick Entities and Processing Channels; select the entities you want to include in your connection and the processing channels you want to include in your connection
After you create the new Secret key, copy the key for use in the next step.
