Integrate with Flutterwave SDK: In your Flutterwave integration (whether it's a mobile app, web app, or any other platform), you'll need to use the API key to authenticate your requests to Flutterwave. Refer to the Flutterwave documentation for the specific integration steps and code examples.
Test Environment: If you are testing your integration, Flutterwave may provide a separate set of API keys for their test environment. Make sure to use the appropriate keys based on whether you are in a testing or production environment.
