There are two forms of authentication available:
  • HTTP Signature is a hash-based method which uses a shared secret key.  
    • A shared secret key is a Base64-encoded transaction key string.
    • You authenticate to the API using this key, which is unique to your account.
    • Smartpay Fuse uses it to connect your website or API integration to the Smartpay Fuse Payment Gateway for transaction processing.
    • It is different from your login credentials for the Smartpay Fuse Portal
  • JSON Web Token (JWT). This requires signing a P12 Certificate 
    • A certificate is one way to authenticate to APIs.
    • The certificate contains public and private keys unique to your account.
    • Smartpay Fuse generates the public key.
    • You generate the private key from a Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) file provided by Smartpay Fuse.
    • Note: Certificate authentication uses a PKCS12 key file with the .p12 extension to digitally sign your API request message before transmitting it to Smartpay Fuse

If you do not have a Smartpay Fuse Portal account, sign up.

Use your Smartpay Fuse Portal account to create a P12 Certificate for JSON Web Token Authentication.
