Get started
Create a Payjar account, copy your test keys, and take one test payment.
You need a Payjar account before you can take a payment. Registration is free. A test payment does not move real money.
Create your account
Register a store, then copy the test public key and the test secret key from the dashboard.
Create an account#
Register and you get a store plus a set of test keys. Sign in later at payjar.net/login.
Copy your keys#
- Put the public key (
pk_test_...) in your website. It is safe in a browser. - Put the secret key (
sk_test_...) on your server only. A mobile app should call your server, not Payjar, with that key.
The full key table is on the Overview.
Take a test payment#
- Website. Add one script and call
Payjar.checkout(). Follow Popup checkout. - App or your own screen. Create the payment on your server, then show the account number. Follow Mobile and API checkout.
Confirm the payment#
Deliver the order only after your server sees status success. Use verify or a webhook. While you are building, simulate a successful transfer.
Go live#
When a test payment works, switch the store on for live payments and use the live keys. Read Go live and test mode.
