In next step, copy the API key and use it in the request header to create [payments](https://docs.ivpay.io/start/ivpay-api/api-reference/payments)<br>

On this page, you can also set your **Webhook URL**, your endpoint to which we will send a webhook about the status of the payment. You can read more about it [here](https://docs.ivpay.io/start/get-started/webhooks).
