Before starting Web Checkout integration or integrating your website with PayU products for the Test environment, you need to get your API key and Salt for your test merchant from the PayU Merchant Dashboard. For more information on how to toggle between the Live and Test mode on Dashboard, refer to Toggle between Live and Test Mode.

To generate test merchant API key and Salt:

  1. Navigate to the following URL and log in to Merchant Dashboard:

https://onboarding.payu.in/app/account/signin

Notes:

  • For merchants registered before August 3rd, 2023, use the following URL for the Test environment:

  • KYC registration is not required for the test merchant account. You can skip the KYC registration using the Back to Dashboard option immediately after you log in.
