Authentication

Guide

  • Alchemy Pay will issue a pair of appId&appSecret for each partner once onboarded with Alchemy Pay. The appId is used to identify the partner, while appSecret is for signature purposes.

  • appId&appSecrety will be delivered to the partner upon request from Alchemy Pay's operation team. There is currently no online service for self-apply.

  • Please do not expose the appSecret in any API request.

Signature

Mutual authentication is implemented. For requests, the caller needs to compute a digital signature and add the signature as part of the HTTP body. Conversely, for responses, Alchemy Pay provides its signature in the HTTP body in the response. The request signature is generated as follows:
