The pawaPay Merchant API can only be used with an authentication token. You can read more about how this token can be used to access our API from our API docs. This functionality is available to users with the Technical Administration role. Read more about User roles.

​
Generating an API token

Press the “Generate Token” button to generate an API token. You can have at most 2 active API tokens at a time.
Generate Token
You can use the “Copy to clipboard” button to easily copy the API token.
Store your token safely as pawaPay does not store your token after generating it for security reasons.You need to configure your Callback URLs to be able to generate API tokens.

​
Active API tokens

Your active API tokens are listed together with the information about who generated them, when they were generated, and the Token ID. Note that the Token ID is not usable as the token itself but is only used for identifying a specific token when contacting our support team.

Signed callbacks
