API Keys & Secrets

An API key is a unique secret code that identifies and authorizes your application when it interacts with the Lipila API.

When your system sends a request — for example, to create a payment or check a transaction status — it must include your API key so Lipila knows:

• Which merchant account the request belongs to.
• Whether that account is allowed to perform the requested action.
• Whether the request should be handled in test or live mode.

Types of API Keys in Lipila

There are two types of API keys in Lipila: Test and Live.

• Test Keys – for trying out integrations in a safe, non-live environment.
• Live Keys – for real transactions in production.

Locating Your API Key

1. Log in to your Lipila Dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Wallets section at the bottom-left of the screen.

4. Copy the required key. Your api key Will start with the letters Lsk which stands for Lipila secret key

Important

Anyone with your API key can make requests to your account.
Keep it safe.
