Test account data

Please use this test account data in order to test your API implementation:

// shop_name is the API name, replace 'ShopName 123' with your API name. Create API entry at https://www.alfacoins.com/user
$shop_name = 'apicontest';

// your actual API password
$shop_password = 'aIXncDlApUS4nexB';

// shop_secret_key is your API secret_key, it's shown one time after you created the new API entry, if you didn't write it down you can reset it in your API settings
$shop_secret_key = '07fc884cf02af307400a9df4f2d15490';

// prepare options to create a new order, more about it here: https://www.alfacoins.com/developers#post_requests-create
$options = [
  // notificationURL is used for notification about order's status change
  // PLEASE NOTE: you can only use verified websites in the websites integration area
  'notificationURL' => 'https://apicontest.alfacoins.com/notify.php',
  // redirectURL is used to redirect your customer from the payment page
  'redirectURL' => 'https://apicontest.alfacoins.com/redirect.php',
  // payerName is your customer's name used to notify your customer about order
  'payerName' => 'John Smith',
  // payerEmail is your customer's e-mail address used to notify your customer about order
