Use this page as your starting point. Then review the specific best practices for your channel: E-commerce, Web Checkout, or Mobile SDK.
Cross-cutting principles
Credential security
Credential security
- Never expose credentials, Client Secrets, API keys, or tokens in the frontend.
- Run sensitive operations from your backend over HTTPS.
- Store keys in environment variables or a secure secret manager.
Operation validation
Operation validation
- Do not confirm a sale solely from the visual response shown by the checkout, SDK, or browser.
- Validate the final state from your backend using the operation identifiers.
- Keep the relationship between your internal order and the identifier returned by Alignet One.
Testing before production
Testing before production
- Complete tests for every payment method enabled for your merchant.
- Validate approved, declined, pending, expired, and controlled-error scenarios.
- Contact the integration team when you need to validate simulators or special flows.
Monitoring and support
Monitoring and support
- Log errors, response codes, and relevant payloads for traceability.
- Retain test evidence to streamline certification.
- Add alerts for unusual declines, timeouts, or repeated failures.
