# Quickstart

## 1. Get Your Credentials

Sign up at the [Ozura Dashboard](https://app.ozura.com), then retrieve the credentials you'll need:

* **Merchant API Key** — Developers → API Keys → click **Create API Key**. Has Sandbox and Production variants via the header toggle.
* **Merchant ID** — Developers → Identity. Has Sandbox and Production variants via the header toggle.
* **Vault Secret Key** — Developers → Vault Key. Also Sandbox/Production-toggleable.

The Sandbox/Production toggle in the dashboard header controls which environment OzuraPay credentials apply to — make sure you're in **Sandbox** while testing.

<Note>
  For sandbox testing, see [Sandbox](/guides/sandbox) for the canonical credential setup.

## 2. Choose Your Integration Path

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Checkout" icon="shopping-cart" href="/guides/payments/checkout/overview">
    Drop-in hosted payment page. Minimal code, PCI burden handled for you.
  </Card>

  <Card title="OzuraPay API" icon="square-terminal" href="/guides/payments/payapi/overview">
    Full API access for custom payment flows. Requires Vault for card data handling.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## 3. Test in Sandbox

All sandbox transactions use test credentials — no real money moves. Point your checkout API calls at `https://sandbox-checkout.ozura.com` (not the production URL `https://checkout.ozura.com`). See [Sandbox](/guides/sandbox) for the full credential and URL setup, and [Test Credentials](/guides/test-credentials) for card numbers.

## 4. Go Live

Once you've validated your integration in sandbox, contact your Ozura representative to enable production credentials.
