Why Register an App?

Registering an app allows you to automate payments, manage wallets, and interact with Payman via SDK. Each app gets a unique set of credentials, access control via policies, OAuth access and full visibility into payment activity — ensuring secure and governed automation.

​
Step 1: Enable Developer Mode

In the Payman Dashboard, toggle the “Developers” switch in the sidebar. This unlocks:
  • Ability to register apps
  • Access to TSD wallets for testing

​

​
Step 2: Register the App

  1. Go to Apps → Register App
  2. Enter the following details:
    • App Name
    • Description
    • (Optional) Website
  3. Click Save Register App You’ll now see your app listed and ready to configure.

​
Step 3: Configure the App

Each app must be connected to:
  • At least One Wallet
    Select a specific wallet or allow access to all.
  • At least one Payee
    Choose who this app can send money to — bank accounts, wallets, or test payees.
  • One Policy (required)
    Every app must be governed by a policy that defines limits, thresholds, and approval rules.
One App = One Policy You can choose a system policy or clone/customize your own in the Policies tab.

After Registration

Once your app is saved and configured, you’ll see 5 tabs in the app view:
TabPurpose
OverviewBasic details, configuration summary, app status
CredentialsGenerate Client ID and Client Secret
Webhooks(Optional) Add callback URLs to receive event updates
OAuth Config(Optional) Set up Payman OAuth for third-party access
PlaygroundTest your app’s configuration
You can generate both Test Credentials (TSD wallet) and Live Credentials (USD/USDC wallets) once your app is ready and linked to an approved policy.

​
Playground

The Playground tab allows you to test your app’s configuration and authentication flows right from the dashboard — no Postman or code needed. It supports both:
  • Client Credentials Flow: For backend automation
  • Authorization Code Flow: For apps that use Payman OAuth to access wallets on behalf of end users

​
What’s Next?

Once your app is registered:
  • Use the Payman TypeScript SDK to start building
  • Use your credentials to authenticate and send payments
  • Monitor activity and logs via the dashboard
