Available Types:

  • Plugins: Extensions for CMS like Shopify (coming soon).
  • SDKs: Code libraries for direct embedding.

JavaScript SDK Example

const tangento = require('tangentopay-sdk');

const client = new tangento.Client({ apiKey: 'your_key' });

client.payments.create({
  amount: 5000,
  currency: 'XAF',
  method: 'momo'
}).then(response => console.log(response));

Best Practices

Use test environments (sandbox) for development. Monitor logs for performance optimization.

Security Considerations

Best practices for safeguarding your TangentoPay integration.

Rate Limiting

Protects APIs and logins (e.g., 3 failed logins trigger 15-min lock; subsequent 2 trigger 8-hour lock). Resets automatically.

Idempotency

Include keys in requests to handle network retries safely without duplicates.

Data Handling

All sensitive info (e.g., PINs, API keys) is encrypted. Comply with local regulations like Cameroon's data protection laws.

Additional Tips

  • Rotate API keys quarterly.
  • Enable all security features during onboarding.
  • Implement retries for transient failures.
  • Use AI monitoring for fraud detection.
