Epoint Public and Private Keys​

Before creating and verifying your Epoint account, please ensure that your online store complies with Epoint's internal rules.

To configure the merchant in Epoint system, you will need to provide them with the following information:

  • Your website address
  • URL page of successful payment - success_url
  • URL page to display information about unsuccessful payment - error_url
  • URL to send payment result - result_url

After checking this information, you will be given the access keys: public_key - the merchant ID in Epoint system and private_key - the secret access key to the API.

To generate your Public and Private keys, please follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to your Epoint account
  2. Navigate to the API Management → Connection options
    • In this section, you will need to provide four essential links: the website address, success link, fail link, and result link
  3. After adding the required links, click the Save button to save your settings

For those planning to add a custom domain to their eCommerce store, it's essential to add the custom domain before connecting to Epoint. However, if you've initially added yourstore.biz.cyou links and decide to incorporate a custom domain at a later stage, please remember to update the necessary links on Epoint as well.

Once you have added the necessary links, please allow 24 hours for the system to verify the connection and generate your public and private keys.

Upon successful verification, you will find your public and private keys displayed on the same Connection options page.

By following these steps, you can easily set up your Epoint Public and Private keys for seamless integration with our platform.
