Get started with BVNK
Begin seamless and efficient stablecoin payments with BVNK. This page outlines the five steps from initial setup to going live:
- Contact your Account Manager.
- Design your implementation.
- Create a sandbox account on the BVNK Portal.
- Integrate with BVNK services and test your integration.
- Apply for production access and go live.
Contact your Account Manager
Schedule a kick-off meeting with your Account Manager to discuss your requirements and preferred integration approach.
Design your implementation
Collaborate with your Account Manager and Solutions Consultant during the discovery and integration phase to:
- Decide on the delivery model. Manage stablecoins and compliance yourself, or delegate to BVNK.
- Define your payment flows, set up fees, and fee schedules.
- Find the right use case to match your needs.
Create a sandbox account
Your sandbox is a test environment that mirrors the production platform but operates with test data and virtual funds. Use it to:
- Test API integrations safely.
- Experiment with different features.
- Validate your implementation before going live.
To build and test your integration in the sandbox environment, you need a BVNK sandbox account. After you sign in to your account on the BVNK Portal, you can:
- Generate API keys for API requests.
- Configure webhooks for real-time notifications about transactions and other events.
- Create accounts for your customers and onboard them to ensure regulatory compliance. Only for the Embedded model.
- Create crypto wallets for your customers or request fiat wallets from BVNK's Solutions team.
- Send and request payments.
- Generate transaction reports.
- Manage your customers and contacts.
Integrate with BVNK services
Check our API reference to integrate the BVNK functionality into your platform.
To validate your integration in the sandbox environment:
- Set up a Metamask Ethereum wallet for ETH and USDT ERC20.
- Set up a TronLink wallet for TRX and USDT TRC20.
Go live
After building and testing your integration in the sandbox environment, you are ready to go live.
Contact your Account Manager to activate your live account.
Sandbox configuration doesn't automatically transfer to your live account. You must manually replicate your setup. Before going live, verify:
- API keys are configured in the live environment.
- Webhook URLs are set up to ensure real-time notifications.
- Transaction limits and settings meet operational needs.
Test your integration in the sandbox environment before full launch.
