# Using postman

## Create your PesaSwap account and add a payment provider using PesaSwap APIs through Postman.

### Create a PesaSwap Account

PesaSwap operates on a multi-tenant architecture, enabling a single application server to support multiple merchants. To create a new merchant account, follow these steps:

#### 1. Locate the Admin API Key

* Find the `config/docker_compose.toml` file in your PesaSwap setup.
* Search for the `api_key` entry within this file to retrieve your admin API key.

#### 2. Execute the cURL Command

* Use the following cURL command to create a merchant account.
* Replace `<admin-api-key>` with your actual admin API key.

```bash theme={"system"}
curl --location "http://localhost:8080/accounts" \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "api-key: <admin-api-key>" \
--data-raw '{
  "merchant_id": "Test_merchant",
  "locker_id": "m0010",
  "merchant_name": "NewAge Retailer",
  "merchant_details": {
    "primary_contact_person": "John Test",
    "primary_email": "JohnTest@test.com",
    "primary_phone": "sunt laborum",
    "secondary_contact_person": "John Test2",
    "secondary_email": "JohnTest2@test.com",
    "secondary_phone": "cillum do dolor id",
    "website": "www.example.com",
    "about_business": "Online Retail with a wide selection of organic products for North America",
    "address": {
      "line1": "1467",
      "line2": "Harrison Street",
      "line3": "Harrison Street",
      "city": "San Fransico",
      "state": "California",
      "zip": "94122",
      "country": "US"
    }
  },
  "return_url": "https://google.com",
  "sub_merchants_enabled": false
}'

```

### 3. Receive the Response

Upon executing the command, you should receive a response containing the merchant\_id and publishable\_key.

## Create an API Key

To generate an API key for your merchant account in PesaSwap, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the cURL Command

Replace your\_merchant\_id with the merchant\_id obtained from the previous step.

Replace admin-api-key with your admin API key.

```bash theme={"system"}
curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/api_keys/<your_merchant_id>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'api-key: <admin-api-key>' \
--data '{
  "name": "API Key 1",
  "description": null,
  "expiration": "2023-09-23T01:02:03.000Z"
}'
```

### 2. Secure the API Key

The response will include the plaintext API key.

Store this key securely, as it is essential for authenticating API requests from your merchant server.

<details> <summary>Click to view cURL command to create API key</summary> </details>

### Set Up a Payment Processor

To integrate your preferred payment processor with PesaSwap, follow these steps:

1. Obtain API Credentials from Your Payment Processor

Sign up with your chosen payment processor (e.g., Stripe, Adyen) and acquire the necessary API credentials.

2. Set Up the Payment Processor in PesaSwap

Use the following cURL command to configure the payment processor.

Replace <your_merchant_id /> with your merchant ID obtained earlier.

Replace <admin-api-key /> with your admin API key.

Replace <connector_name /> with the name of your payment processor (e.g., "stripe").

Replace <connector_api_key /> with the API key provided by your payment processor.

```bash theme={"system"}
curl --location "http://localhost:8080/account/<your_merchant_id>/connectors" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "api-key: <admin-api-key>" \
--data '{
  "connector_type": "fiz_operations",
  "connector_name": "stripe",
  "connector_account_details": {
    "auth_type": "HeaderKey",
    "api_key": "<stripe-api-key>"

            "Mastercard"
          ],
          "minimum_amount": 1,
          "maximum_amount": 68607706,
          "recurring_enabled": true,

        },
        {

          ],
          "minimum_amount": 1,
          "maximum_amount": 68607706,
          "recurring_enabled": true,
          "installment_payment_enabled": true
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "payment_method": "pay_later",
      "payment_method_types": [
        {
          "payment_method_type": "klarna",
          "payment_experience": "redirect_to_url",
          "minimum_amount": 1,
          "maximum_amount": 68607706,
          "recurring_enabled": true,
          "installment_payment_enabled": true
        },
        {
          "payment_method_type": "affirm",
          "payment_experience": "redirect_to_url",
          "minimum_amount": 1,
          "maximum_amount": 68607706,
          "recurring_enabled": true,
          "installment_payment_enabled": true
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}'
```

### 3. Customize Connector Account Details

The connector\_account\_details field requires specific authentication details for your chosen payment processor.

For payment processors, the required fields may vary.

You can find payment provider-specific details to be included in this spreadsheet.

### 4. Enable Payment Methods

In the payment\_methods\_enabled section, specify the payment methods and types you wish to enable.

For example, to enable credit card payments via Visa and Mastercard, include them as shown in the cURL command above.
