Overview

Before you can create payment links and accept payments, you must complete merchant validation. This is a one-time process required for both sandbox and production environments.
Required Step: You cannot create payment links without completing merchant validation, even in sandbox mode.

​
Why Merchant Validation?

You must complete merchant validation before creating payment links. This ensures legal compliance and security.

​
Validation Process

  1. Go to OCPay Merchant Info
  2. Fill in your business information
  3. Upload required documents
  4. Wait 1-3 business days for approval

​
After Validation

Once approved, you can: ✅ Create payment links (sandbox and production)
✅ Accept real payments from customers
✅ Withdraw funds to your bank account
✅ Access full OCPay features

​
Get Your API Keys

  1. Log into oneclickdz.com
  2. Navigate to API settings
  3. Copy your keys:
    • Sandbox Key: For testing (no real money)
    • Production Key: For real transactions
Never expose API keys in frontend code or public repositories!

​
Store Keys Securely
