Getting started

This page will provide you with an overview of the steps to start using our APIs for your payment processing.

Before you begin

To try out our APIs and learn how our services work, you’ll need the following:

  1. A J.P. Morgan Payments developer account to access your personal workspace.
  2. A workspace project in the Payments Developer Portal with Optimization & Protection APIs.

Once you sign in and create your project, you’ll be able to retrieve your workspace credentials and begin trying out our APIs. For more detailed steps on using the Payments Developer Portal, check out the developer quick start page.

Apply for a live client account

Once you create a workspace project, you can initiate your client experience on the Developer Portal. At the bottom of the project page, look for the blue button to request access. Fill out the form and we’ll get in touch with you within 3 business days. Some things needed before accessing your live account include:

  • Client profile. We'll collect the business details J.P. Morgan needs prior to partnering with you.
  • Product selection and configuration. Our sales team will help you choose the features needed for your business.
  • Test client credentials. Our implementations team will help authenticate you and issue test client credentials.

Integrate and test

You'll be issued a set of processing credentials to access our APIs. Once your integration has been tested and approved, we will assign your production credentials for you to start processing live payments.
