Developer Access & Onboarding

Get started with Finqu development by obtaining API credentials. There are two paths depending on your needs: accessing a specific merchant account or becoming a partner to build apps and themes for multiple merchants.

Obtaining API Credentials for a Merchant Account

If you’re developing for a specific merchant account, you can obtain API credentials through the OAuth flow or by generating credentials directly in the Finqu admin.

OAuth Flow

The OAuth 2.0 flow allows you to securely access a merchant account’s data and functionality. This is the recommended approach for most integrations.

  1. Request Authorization - Redirect the user to the authorization endpoint to grant access
  2. Receive Authorization Code - After approval, receive an authorization code
  3. Exchange for Access Token - Exchange the code for an access token
  4. Retrieve Merchant Information - Get the merchant-specific API URL
  5. Make API Requests - Use the access token to make authenticated API calls

For detailed step-by-step instructions on implementing the OAuth flow, see the Authentication Guide.

Generating API Credentials

You can also generate API credentials directly from the Finqu admin:

  1. Log in to your Finqu merchant account
  2. Navigate to Apps in the admin area
  3. Create a new integration or select an existing one
  4. Input the name of the integration and a valid redirect URI. Save to generate the API credentials.
  5. Use these credentials with the OAuth flow or store them securely for your application

[!NOTE] These credentials are specific to the merchant account you’re logged into. If you need to access multiple merchant accounts or build apps/themes for distribution, consider becoming a partner.

Register as Partner

Partners are developers who build apps, themes, and integrations for multiple merchants. Becoming a partner provides additional capabilities and benefits.

Partner Benefits

  • Build for Multiple Merchants - Create apps and themes that can be installed by any merchant
  • Own API Keys - Generate and manage your own API keys from Partner management
  • Referral Program - Earn commission on sales generated by your referrals
  • Partner Themes - Distribute custom themes through the Finqu theme store (coming soon)
  • Partner Apps - Build and distribute apps that integrate with Finqu (coming soon)
  • Enhanced Support - Access to partner-specific resources and support channels
  • Revenue Opportunities - Monetize your apps and themes (coming soon)

How to Become a Partner

To register as a partner and access these benefits:

  1. Visit finqu.com/become-a-partner  to learn more about the partner program
  2. Submit your partner application
  3. Once approved, you’ll gain access to Partner management in the Finqu admin
  4. Generate your own API keys from Partner management for use across multiple merchant accounts

Partner API Credentials

Partners can generate their own API keys that work across multiple merchant accounts:

  1. Log in to your partner account
  2. Navigate to Partner management in the admin area
  3. Generate API credentials (client ID and secret)
  4. Use these credentials to authenticate with the Finqu API
