The “View API Credentials” tab is located in the Merchant portal side menu.
It allows the merchant to view and retrieve the keys required for integrating and using payment API.
The displayed credentials are specific to each merchant and are used to secure communications between the merchant’s system and the Axepta BNP Paribas platform.
