You must set up your accounts with both Checkout.com and BR-DGE, and create a private key to configure the integration.

1. Request a [test account](https://www.checkout.com/get-test-account) with Checkout.com.
2. Request a [BR-DGE sandbox account](https://br-dge.to/contact/).

### Create a public API key

1. Sign in to the sandbox environment in the [Dashboard](https://dashboard.checkout.com).
2. Select _Developers_ in the left navigation bar and open the _Keys_ tab.
3. Select _Create a new key_.
4. Under _Type of key_, select _Public API key_.
5. Give the API key a description to help you identify it later.
6. Turn off the _Allow any processing channel_ setting.
7. Select the processing channel you want to use for Chargebee payments from the list.
8. Select _Create key_.
9. Copy your public API key. You need it to configure the plugin.

> **Information**

> You can view your public API key in the Dashboard at any time.

### Create a private API key

## Configure the gateway integration

In your BR-DGE dashboard:

1. Follow BR-DGE – [Smart routing overview](https://docs.br-dge.io/docs/smart-routing-overview) instructions to create a new connection to Checkout.com.
2. Configure your credentials using your Checkout.com public and private keys, prefixed with Bearer. For example, `Bearer <SECRET_KEY>`.

---

## Test your integration

To test your connection to Checkout.com, see BR-DGE – [Testing](https://docs.br-dge.io/docs/checkout#testing) .

Optionally, you can use our Postman collection to test payment actions.

### Test using Postman

Ensure you set up your Postman environment with your BR-DGE secret key.

See the [Postman collection](https://www.postman.com/checkoutdotcom/workspace/br-dge-checkout-com) for the actions to test in sandbox.

## Move to production

To move your integration into production, generate a private key for your production environment and use those credentials instead.
