Create applications

The snappi merchant portal allows merchants to integrate their systems and platforms with snappi to enable e-commerce and payment functionality. Creating applications in the snappi merchant portal is the first step for a merchant to set up this integration.

Applications represent the connection points and endpoints between the merchant and bank systems.

Let's walk you through the steps to create a Merchant application in your snappiDev portal!

  • Enter a unique name for your application in the provided field. This will be how your application appears in the portal and also on reports. For instance,type "Open Banking" or "PIS".

  • Provide a brief description of the application to help identify its purpose.

  • Enter Certificate: upload an eIDAS (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services) certificate. This certificate is crucial for ensuring secure communications and compliance with digital identity regulations.

    It is the certificate that every TPP should obtain in order to be certified to consume PSD2 APIs.

  • Enter Redirect URI: specify the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) where the application will redirect users after certain actions, such as consents or payments.

    This is important for OAuth2 and other authentication flows.

  • Check functional options:

The follwoing checkboxes declare the TPP's intention for using the PSD2 pillars. eIDAS also contains that info for which pillar the TPP is certified for, so there is a validation that takes place combining those two app properties:

  • Account Information: select this option if the application requires access to account information.

  • Payment initiation: select this option if the application will initiate payments.

  • Funds confirmation select this option if the application needs to confirm the availability of funds.

5. Click Create App

Once you've entered all the required fields, click the Create App button to finalize the application setup in the portal.

6. Verify the newly created app
