API connection
The connection to the PayByLink API is a secure connection that is protected by IP address (optional), an Extended Validation SSL certificate and a username and password combination that must be supplied as ‘basic authentication’ header. To create a connection, the following things must be arranged:
| SUBJECT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| IP Address | The IP address(es) of the server that connects to the PayByLink system must be supplied to the PayByLink or Entity administrator. He can enter these addresses in the system so that connections that are created from other IP addresses will be refused. |
Username | An API user must be created within the PayByLink system with its own unique username and corresponding password. These values must be used to create a secure connection. |
