Getting started
Quickstart
Go from sign-up to your first API call in a few minutes.
Every integration starts the same way: create a Mereb Hub account, grab a sandbox API key, and make a test request. No approval wait, no sales call.
Steps
- Create a free account in the Mereb Hub
- Copy your sandbox secret key from Developers → API Keys
- Install an official SDK, or call the REST API directly
- Send a test charge and confirm it in the dashboard
Example request
Node.js
const Mereb = require('@mereb/node')(apiKey: 'mk_test_...'); const charge = await Mereb.charges.create({ amount: 25000, currency: 'ETB', channel: 'cbe_birr', customer: 'cust_8H7T0Rx',});Next steps
Once sandbox transactions look right, switch to a live key and complete business verification to start moving real money. From here, read Authentication to understand key types, or jump straight to the Payments API reference.
