Quickstart

Step 1. Creating an Account

First, you'll need to create your Flutterwave account. Which will give you access to a free test environment where you can simulate your preferred transactions.

In your test environment, you will be able to:

1. Receive payments using a mock data card.
2. Make transfers to dummy accounts (bank and mobile money)
3. Use mock wallets and virtual cards.

Step 2. Configuring your Integration

There are several integration methods available to you. Some of the most commonly used options include:

1. HTML Checkout
2. In-app Checkout
3. Javascript inline script
4. Libraries and Plugins
5. Direct API integrations

Step 3. Completing your KYC
