# Getting Started

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

## A PayPangea account

Sign up for a PayPangea account if you haven't already. This will give you access to the PayPangea dashboard where you can manage your payments, view transaction history, and access your API keys.

## **Familiarity with Web Development**

A basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is necessary to integrate PayPangea into your website. Our integration script is straightforward, but knowing how to customize and troubleshoot your webpage will help you tailor the experience to your needs.

## An API key provided by PayPangea

To authenticate your integration and initiate transactions securely, you will need an API key. You can obtain this key from your PayPangea dashboard. Keep this key confidential and do not share it publicly to ensure your transactions remain secure.

***

Once you have these prerequisites in place, you can proceed with integrating PayPangea into your website using our JavaScript SDK. Follow the integration guide closely, and refer to our comprehensive API documentation for detailed information on request parameters, response objects, and error handling. Our support team is also available to assist you with any questions or issues you may encounter during the integration process.
