Authentication & authorization

Introduction to integration [Bright].png

To ensure the highest level of security, ZEN.COM API uses API key to authenticate all requests. All API requests have to be made using the HTTPS protocol and properly authenticated - otherwise, they will be rejected by ZEN.COM.

Merchants using the my.zen.com application can view and manage API key settings from within the app's panel.

To get your credentials:

Select the Store settings option from the main menu.

Go to the Settings page to check your individual Credentials.

INFO

For a multiple-Terminal setup, please make sure to select the desired Terminal from the dropdown list.

Types of Credentials you'll need to integrate with ZEN.COM Payment system:

Name	API Integration	Checkout integration	Plugins integration
IPN Secret	yes	no	yes
Checkout Secret	no	yes	yes
Terminal API Key	yes	no	yes
Terminal UUID	no	yes	yes

DANGER

API keys have special permissions that allow access to certain functionalities or data. It's important to keep them secure because they carry the ability to perform actions or access information that regular users might not have the rights to do.

We recommend never share your API keys publicly, include them as part of your code, or pass them to unauthorized persons. If you suspect that your API keys have been exposed publicly or have fallen into the wrong hands, please contact ZEN.COM to generate new authentication data.
