Creating Your Account

Sign up

Section titled “Sign up”

Create an account at dashboard.elasticpay.co — email and password, no business details needed yet. You then complete a short form to set up your sandbox account. No approval is required to start testing.

Sandbox vs live

Section titled “Sandbox vs live”
Mode Setup Use for
Sandbox Immediate Development and testing
Live Requires compliance review Real payments

Your sandbox account is fully functional with the same API and portal features as live. Payments made in sandbox mode are simulated and never charged to real cards.

Your first API keys

Section titled “Your first API keys”

When your sandbox account is created, ElasticPay automatically generates one secret key and one publishable key for it. Find them under Developer → API keys, or go straight to dashboard.elasticpay.co/developers.

  • Secret key (sk_sandbox_...) — use on your server to create and confirm payment intents
  • Publishable key (pk_sandbox_...) — use in the browser to initialize the widget
