When you've successfully installed the OpenCart plugin, configure the plugin properly to enable you to perform operations.
Get your API keys
Depending on whether you want to test in the Sandbox environment or go live, you need to get the appropriate API key. API keys are created in the API Console.
To test in the Sandbox environment (if you don't have a Sandbox account yet, see Get started with the API Console):
- Log in to the API Console with your Revolut Business email.
- Use the account switcher in the top right corner to open your Sandbox account - the Sandbox environment displays a Sandbox banner at the top.
- In the API keys menu, create a new API key - select the Merchant product and set all resources to Write where possible ( Write includes Read).
- Copy the Sandbox API secret key.
Sandbox accounts come with pre-generated full-access keys, so you can start testing immediately without creating your own key.
