1.1 Authentication Keys

After the account created on the Shiji paltform, you will recieve a pair of keys, and a merchantRef. Those keys will be used for the backend API's and client SDK's

1.1.1 Secret and Publishbale Keys

Secret key - used to make back-to-back calls such as making payments.

Publishable key - used on the client side, for example, in the Shiji wallet JS SDK

You will have 2 pairs of such keys, one pair for the sandbox environment and one for the production.

1.1.2 Setting up payments

To use the Billing API you will need to use the secret Key, with a merchantRef.
The merchant Ref is configured on the Shiji side and its indicating the proccessor/gateway you are using for payments and credit card verifications.

For example "First data" or "Chase" with many more supported.
After we will configure the proccessor/gateway in the system with its credentials, you will recieve the merchant Ref, its a numeric value.
