Get Started with Income

A step-by-step guide to help you get started with Income.

Let's get started by running Income in the sandbox environment. To start, you will need to sign up for an account on the Brankas Dashboard and generate an API key. We will be guiding you through in this article from how to get started in the sandbox environment followed by the transition to go live.

Set Up Your Sandbox

There are 2 environments available. In the Sandbox environment, you can transact and call data with dummy banks, amounts, currencies and prototype your integrations. There are no limits in the sandbox environment and when you are ready, transition to the live mode where you will be transacting and calling data from customers.

Go Live

📘

Prerequisites

Verified account on the Brankas Dashboard

Once you have tested in the sandbox environment and ready to go live, follow through with these steps:

  1. Update Callback URL
    Brankas Direct returns callbacks to your pre-registered webhook URL.
    In order for you to receive Final and Transitional statuses, you will need to set-up your callback URL for your listener to push the status to required platforms. These statuses are asynchronous to the actual funds transfer process and to ensure that the pushed status won’t be blocked it is best practice to whitelist Brankas call back URL IP: 35.240.194.107 only for callback notification from this IP should be interpreted.
    POST 'https://example.com/callback' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data-raw '{
        "transaction_id": "f6355a01-e32b-426e-b2af-85366d305743",
        "status": 2
        "reference_id": “9005376336”
    }'
    
FieldTypeDescription
transaction_idStringThe unique ID assigned to the fund transfer request
reference_idStringAny additional identifier, such as a UUID, that corresponds to an invoice, cart, or transaction object.

Client can use this field to associate the fund transfer request to a corresponding transaction object in its transaction database.
