Best Practices
Following these best practices will help ensure reliable and secure integrations with the ValPay API.
Use the Test Environment First
Always build and test your integration using the test environment before accessing production data.
This helps ensure your integration behaves correctly before interacting with live merchant data.
Test environment:
https://api.valpay.dev
Protect Your API Keys
Treat your API key as a secret credential.
Recommended practices:
Store API keys securely
Do not expose keys in frontend applications
Avoid committing API keys to public repositories
Rotate keys if you suspect they have been compromised
Implement Pagination
Many endpoints return large datasets.
Use pagination parameters when retrieving data to avoid unnecessary load and improve performance.
Example:
GET /v1/transactions?page=1&pageSize=25
Handle Errors Gracefully
Your application should properly handle API errors.
For example:
retry failed requests when appropriate
log errors for troubleshooting
display meaningful messages when requests fail
Refer to the Error Handling page for more details.
