Set up your business
Before your first call, set up your business on the merchant dashboard. Signing up, verifying your business and creating API keys happen there, not through the API.
1. Create your accountlink
- Open the merchant dashboard and choose Continue with NetApps SSO.
- New to NetApps? Choose Create one to register, then sign in.
Your team signs in the same way. An owner or admin invites them from Team with Send Invitation. Invitations expire after 72 hours.
2. Create your businesslink
Signing in for the first time takes you to business onboarding. Only Business Name is required. You can add a description, your CAC RC number, contact email, phone and website now or later under Settings.
Every new business starts in Test Mode. You can build and test the whole integration straight away.
3. Verify your business (KYC)link
Start verification from the banner at the top of the dashboard with Verify Business. An owner or admin completes it in the verification window that opens.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Not started | Verification has not begun. |
| Pending, Under review | Your documents are being checked. |
| Verified | Your business is verified. You can create live keys and request production access. |
| Rejected | Fix what the reviewer flagged, then choose Retry Verification. |
| Expired | Start again with Restart Verification. |
You do not need a verified business to build in test.
4. Create a test API keylink
- Open API Keys with the dashboard in test mode.
- Choose New API key, give it a name, and create it.
- Copy the Full API key (for x-api-key header). It is shown once.
Only the business owner can create or revoke keys. Keys cannot be rotated: to replace one, create a new key, switch your server to it, then revoke the old one with Revoke key. Revoking takes effect immediately.
5. Lock down your server addresses (optional)link
Under Integration, IP allowlist limits which addresses may call the API, as single IPs or CIDR ranges, up to 50. An empty list allows every address. A call from outside the list is 403 IP_NOT_ALLOWED.
What else is on the dashboardlink
| Screen | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Integration | Webhook endpoints, the IP allowlist, your commission rates, your rate limit, and production activation. |
| Transactions, Policies, Claims | What your business sold, by environment. |
| Statements | What you owe, where to pay it, and disputes. |
| Team | Who can use the dashboard, and with which permissions. |
