Application setup
Establish your application environments with ease in the dashboard.
Basiq’s recommendation when setting up applications:
- Each application created will have its own data. Data cannot be shared between applications, including users. We recommend you create an application for production & an application for dev as bare minimum. You can create as many applications as you like, depending on the approach you aim to take
- When creating an application, you will be prompted to select the payments environment. Choose ‘sandbox’ for test data, ‘production’ for live data, or have it disabled if payments will not be used. Note that this selection cannot be changed once the application is created.
Generate an API key
If you are integrating with the Basiq API you can generate your API key with ease.
Phase 2 - Design
Customising your consent UI via the dashboard editor
Our integrated CDR compliant consent UI provides organisations with an out of the box solution to manage the complex nature of capturing customers consent to access their financial data. Quickly edit and configure an application’s consent UI and flow in just a few clicks via the Basiq dashboard, removing the need to update JSON files. From the customise UI editor you can also:
- Personalising text and messaging that greets end users so it aligns with your brand’s tone of voice. All consent policy fields can be configured including duration, policies, text and more.
- Configuring institutions you want to show or hide to end users. Allowing multiple institution connections, to determine if your end user should be able to connect more than one institution at a time.
- Preview changes in real time in the Dashboard UI editor before publishing to your live application.
- Determine data management behaviour by choosing how you would like to handle your end users data after consent revocation.
