Authentication

All Paysack APIs are authenticated using Basic Auth. Basic auth requires the following:

  • [YOUR_CLIENT_ID]
  • [YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET]

Basic auth expects an Authorization header for each request in the Basic base64token format. Here, base64token is a base64 encoded string of YOUR_CLIENT_ID:YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET.
