# Quickstart

> Start integrating Forebit Payments API in minutes

## Overview

Use this Quickstart to grab credentials and make your first API call to Forebit.

## 1) Get credentials

* Payments → Settings → Developer: copy your Business ID and API Key
* Developer → Webhooks: copy the webhook signing secret (for server-side verification)

## 2) Create your first payment

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://prod-payments-api.forebit.io/v1/businesses/{businessId}/payments \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PAYMENTS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "currency": "USD",
    "amount": 10.00
  }'
```

The response contains `id` (UUID) and `url` (hosted checkout page). Redirect the customer to `url`.

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "id": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
    "url": "https://pay.forebit.io/payment/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890"
  },
  "message": null,
  "errors": null
}
```
