INTRODUCTION:

Proxtera helps B2B marketplace, service providers to help their customers Internationalise.
We provide this is service and provide simple microservices-based APIs.

NB:

The Proxtera partner platforms remain in full control of the user experience with their users (SMEs)
Proxtera does not directly interact with the SME end-users

With our APIs, we enable seamless end-to-end trade between member platforms as well as the provision and acceptance of trade-related services.

How to Integrate with Proxtera – Quickstart Guide

Onboard Platform

In order to join the Proxtera Network and begin accessing Proxtera APIs, your platform must first be onboarded onto our system. Proxtera will provide a URL, which will direct you to a registration form. Once approved by Proxtera, you will receive a confirmation email and be onboarded onto our platform. These steps are replicated for both our UAT and production environment.

Authentication

Client ID and secret keys are used by Proxtera to create an authentication token to authenticate your request and allow you to access our API. After your platform is onboarded onto the Proxtera Network, you can generate a client ID and API secret key on the Proxtera Portal to create an OAuth 2.0 token.

Once the platform is onboarded and authenticated, the following three steps will be conducted for the API endpoints.
