What is the purpose of the “API Keys” section in the dashboard? And where can I find it?

Posted on : 26 Nov, 2025    |    Last Update - 2 weeks ago   

The API Keys section contains:
    Public Key
    Secret Key
    Encryption Key

These keys are essential for integrating Chapa with websites, apps, or systems.

Public Key 
- Used for client-side operations (e.g., front-end JavaScript)
- Safe to include in public code, but should still be handled securely

Secret Key 
- The most powerful key, used for authorizing actions on your account.
- It is used on the backend for secure operations.
- Never share or expose this key publicly

Encryption Key 
- Secures sensitive transaction info.

Merchants must keep these keys private to protect their systems from unauthorized access.
You can get those keys under your settings.
