Merchant API: Implementation checklists

Before going live with your chosen payment method to accept payments, check if you completed everything that is required for a successful implementation.

Each implementation has its own specific differences, but there are some general requirements your implementation should meet.

This page contains additional use cases, which are not mentioned at specific implementation scenarios:

• Implementation checklist for Card field
• Implementation checklist for Card pop-up
• Implementation checklist for Revolut Pay

Basics​

• Create a Revolut Merchant account
• Get Public and Secret API key
• Use API versioning where applicable
• Complete the tutorial for your desired implementation:
  • Accept card payments via Card field
  • Accept card payments via Card pop-up
  • Accept payments via Revolut Pay
• Customize your configuration:
  • Web implementation
  • iOS implementation (Revolut Pay only)
  • Android implementation (Revolut Pay only)
• Set up Sandbox environment for testing

Test your implementation in Sandbox​

To test whether your implementation is ready for production deployment, check against the following use cases in Sandbox environment.

Use this list of use cases to test if the corresponding process works with the Merchant API. To see if your application handles these use cases as expected, the corresponding API calls should be made by your backend without errors. While changes you make should be present in the Merchant API.

For more information about the API calls, see: Merchant API.
