Getting Started

Introduction

Guides lay down the core requirements to accept and manage payments though the ECRYPT API. You will have a better understanding of how to implement the following functions:

Accept card-present transactions
Accept card-not-present transactions
Tokenization
Store and manage customers
Build custom payment flows
Testing integrations

Every transaction runs through ECRYPT's payment flow designed to make transactions fast and secure. Transactions must begin with tokenization in order to keep sensitive cardholder data protected. Tokenization also helps to remove PCI scope for software applications using ECRYPT's API.

Payment flow for standard transaction:

What you will need

Test Account
To get started you will need to set up a test account. Test accounts allow you to explore ECRYPT's functionality and test your workflows with dummy credit card numbers and checking account numbers.

API Key
After you have your test or production account you will need to generate an API key to integrate with ECRYPT.

Create your API keys in Settings > API/Security Keys

Certification to go live

Certification
Your implementation must be tested and certified by ECRYPT before going live. We recommend testing the following payment flows prior to your certification:

Sale
Refund
Void
Authorization only
Authorization, capture
Authorization, void
Certification requirements vary depending on the type of integration and entry points used for accepting payments.
