VR Payment account and API access

Space ID, application user, and API key in the VR Payment back office.

The app authenticates with JWT (HS256) against the VR Payment Gateway REST API v2.0. You need three values from the VR Payment back office.

1

Open the back office

Sign in at https://gateway.vr-payment.de. Use the test space for trials and the live space for production.

2

Note the Space ID

Each space has a numeric Space ID. Enter the live ID in Space ID and the test ID in Test Space ID on VR Payment Setup.

3

Create an application user

Create an application user and note the User ID and Authentication Key. The app stores the key as API Key (masked).

Treat the API key like a password. Do not paste it into tickets, chat logs, or email in clear text.

In Sandbox mode the app uses the test Space ID and appends PREVIEW parameters to payment-link URLs. Sandbox and test space must match.

The default API URL is https://gateway.vr-payment.de. Change it only if VR Payment gives you a different base URL.
