# Instamojo Payment Gateway

Instamojo is primarily focused on serving businesses and individuals within India. Its services are optimized for the Indian market, and it supports transactions in Indian Rupees (INR). Therefore, Instamojo payment gateway is primarily designed to cater to merchants and customers in India.

1. **Create an Instamojo Account:** Visit the Instamojo website (<https://www.instamojo.com/>) and sign up for an Instamojo account. If you already have an account, log in.
2. **Access the Instamojo Dashboard:** After logging in, you should have access to the Instamojo Dashboard. This is where you can manage your account, set up payment gateways, and obtain API keys.
3. **Navigate to the API & Plugins Section:** Within the Instamojo Dashboard, look for a section related to API & Plugins or developer settings. The exact location may vary, so check the dashboard menu or settings.
4. **Generate API Keys:** In the API & Plugins section, you should have the option to generate or retrieve your API keys. Instamojo typically provides a pair of keys: an API key and an Auth token. The Auth token is sensitive and should be kept confidential.
5. **Configure Integration Settings:** Once you have the API keys, configure your integration settings based on the Instamojo API documentation. This may involve setting up webhooks, specifying allowed origins, and configuring other parameters.
6. **Integrate Instamojo APIs:** Refer to the Instamojo API documentation for details on how to integrate their APIs into your application. You may need to use the obtained API keys in your code to interact with the Instamojo payment system.
7. **Test Transactions:** Before going live, it's crucial to test your integration in the Instamojo sandbox environment. This allows you to simulate transactions and ensure that your application handles payments correctly.
8. **Go Live:** Once testing is successful, you can switch to the live environment. Use your live Instamojo API keys to process real transactions.
9. **Secure API Keys:** Treat your Instamojo API keys securely. Do not expose them in public repositories, and store them in a secure environment. Consider using environment variables or other secure methods to manage your API keys in your application.

Always refer to the official Instamojo documentation for the most up-to-date information and specific details on obtaining and using developer keys for their payment gateway.
