Get your API Keys
Get your API Keys to gain access to Verifone’s APIs and integrate with our services to create and manipulate transactions.
API keys are always linked to a user, so the API key inherits the permissions linked to the user and the assigned user roles.
🔐 API Key security guidelines
You can only copy an API key once. Store the API Key in a safe place.
If you lose an API key, delete it and create a new one.
API keys expire after 1 year.
A user can create up to 5 API keys.
API Key capabilities
You can use the API Keys to:
Authenticate your applications against Verifone APIs
Integrate with our checkout service
Integrate with our eCommerce service (Verifone-hosted plugins, such as Shopify or WooCommerce)
If you use a Verifone-hosted plugin, you must update your API keys in the plugin / eCommerce provider settings.
