How to Activate Direct Pay for Your Fapshi API

Direct Pay lets you collect payments directly on your platform with the Fapshi API. To activate it for live transactions, you must apply through Fapshi Support.

Prerequisite

Before applying,

1. You must first implement Direct Pay in Sandbox mode on your platform and ensure it works correctly. This is required to demonstrate your integration before activation in live mode.
2. You must have a live website that explains what your business does and how your solution/platform works such that we can ascertain your use of the API.

Note: Direct Pay is only approved for absolutely necessary use cases (e.g. Mobile app) or use cases that would not work via Initiate Pay. So, before applying, make sure you fulfill this criteria.

How to Apply

To request Direct Pay activation, send an email to support@fapshi.com with the following details:

1. Your personal and business information
   • Your full name
   • Your Fapshi account email
   • Your business name (as registered on Fapshi)

2. Description of your platform

• Explain clearly how your platform works (or how it will work once launched).

3. Platform type

• State if it’s a web application or a mobile application.

4. Sandbox testing

• Confirm whether you have already implemented your solution using the sandbox environment.

5. Reason for choosing Direct Pay

6. Provide the Live API User ONLY of your collections service. NEVER SHARE YOUR LIVE API KEY!

Important Notes

• Please make sure to answer all the questions in your email. This will speed up the review and processing of your request.
• If any details are missing, Support may ask for additional clarification, which can delay your activation.

✅ Once your request is reviewed and approved, Fapshi Support will activate Direct Pay for your account in live mode, allowing you to process real payments.
