🚀 Exciting News for Developers: API Keys Are Here!

FreshLimePay Cloud now supports API keys for Checkout Payment Buttons! 💳

This means you can now programmatically create, update, and delete buttons for PayPal and Stripe without ever leaving your code editor. Automation, workflows, or integrations? ✅ All possible now.

🔑 Why API Keys Matter

Before, you had to manually create buttons through the Cloud dashboard. That works, but it’s not scalable.

With API keys:

  • ✅ Programmatic access for automation
  • 🔒 Secure API authorization
  • 🖥️ Manage buttons without logging into the dashboard
  • 🔗 Integrate FreshLimePay into your apps or backend services

⚙️ How It Works (High Level)

The workflow is simple:

  1. Generate an API key in your FreshLimePay Cloud account
  2. Include the key in the X-API-KEY header for all requests
  3. Call the Checkout Payment Button endpoints (create, update, delete)
  4. Buttons appear instantly in your account, ready to accept payments 💵

📝 Example: Creating a Checkout Payment Button

Here’s how to create a new button for PayPal or Stripe:

POST /product-payment/create HTTP/1.1
Host: cloud-api.freshlimepay.com
Content-Type: application/json
X-API-KEY: your-api-key-here

{
  "productName": "FreshLime T-Shirt",
  "amount": "29.99",
  "currency": "USD",
  "paymentMethod": "Stripe",
  "paymentType": "one_time",
  "isLive": true,
  "description": "Limited edition FreshLime T-Shirt",
  "billingInterval": null
}

Response

{
  "isSuccess": true,
  "data": "btn_123456789",
  "message": "Checkout Payment Button created successfully"
}

🔍 What’s happening here

  • productName – Name of your product
  • amount – Payment amount as a decimal string
  • currency – e.g., USD, EUR
  • paymentMethod – PayPal or Stripe
  • paymentType – one_time or subscription
  • isLive – true for live payments, false for sandbox
  • description – Optional product description
  • billingInterval – Required only for subscriptions

With this, your button is ready to embed in your site or app instantly. ⚡
