Questions, answered

Do I need to be a developer to use this?

Your developer (or agency) connects the API to your website or app once. After that everything runs automatically, and you manage keys, usage and billing from the Developers area in Inventra. If you don't have a developer, our support team can point you to one.

How do I pay?

In naira, through Paystack. Choose a monthly plan for your API calls, and top up a prepaid wallet for pay-per-use services like SMS and identity checks. No dollar card needed.

Can I test before paying?

Yes. Sandbox keys are free forever with 10,000 test calls a month. In sandbox nothing is charged, no SMS is sent and your real stock is never touched.

Where does the money from the Payment Gateway go?

Straight to your own bank account. You register your account once, and Paystack settles every payment to it automatically. We only take our small fee per successful payment.

Is customer identity data safe?

We return verification results to you but only store whether a check matched, with the ID number masked. We never keep names, dates of birth or photos from identity lookups.

What happens if I go over my monthly calls?

Calls pause with a clear message until the next month or until you upgrade, so you're never surprised by a bill. You can see your usage live in the Developers area.
