Getting Started
Retrieve Credentials
Find and copy your API keys from the Partner Portal.
API keys are available in the Partner Portal under API Settings → Keys.
Key types
| Prefix | Mode | Use |
|---|---|---|
csk_test_ | Sandbox | All development and testing. No real money. |
csk_live_ | Production | Issued after certification. Real transactions. |
🔁Mode
Both key types hit the same single API host (api.cresoracommerce.com). Cresora selects test vs. live mode based on the key prefix, not the URL. This is the single-host environment model.
Copying your test key
- Sign in to the Partner Portal
- Navigate to API Settings → Keys
- Click Reveal next to your test secret key — it displays once
- Copy it and store it in your secrets manager immediately
⚠Warning
Test keys are displayed only once. If you lose yours, rotate it in the Partner Portal to generate a new one. Treat test keys with the same care as production keys — they can create merchants and submit transactions in your sandbox.
Key rotation
Rotate keys in the Partner Portal at any time. After rotation, the old key stops working immediately. Plan rotations during low-traffic windows.
