Getting Started
Everything you need to go from zero to your first live transaction on Cresora Commerce.
Cresora Commerce is a certification-first payments platform built for ISVs and their merchants. This guide takes you from account creation to your first sandbox transaction in under 30 minutes.
What you'll need
- A Partner account (request access via the Partner Portal)
- Your sandbox API key from the Partner Portal → Developers → API keys
- A server-side environment to make API calls
🔁Mode
Cresora runs two hosts. Sandbox (api.sandbox.cresoracommerce.ai) is for certification and testing, with no real money movement. Production (api.cresoracommerce.ai) handles live traffic after certification. You reach an environment by calling its host with the credentials issued for it; the key itself carries no test/live marker.
Steps in this guide
- Create your account
- Retrieve your API credentials
- Set up your sandbox
- Make your first API call
- Process your first payment
