Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does it take to start testing the Prometeo API?
The account creation and verification process typically takes about 10 minutes. Once verified, your Sandbox API Key is available immediately for testing.
What is the difference between Sandbox and Production tests?
The Sandbox environment uses mock data to ensure your integration logic is correct without moving real funds. Once your logic is validated, you can transition to Production for real-world data and transactions.
Where can I find video tutorials for implementation?
Prometeo offers a YouTube videos called “Te lo explicamos facilito” (We explain it simply), which provides step-by-step visual guides for various API processes.
I didn't receive the verification email, what should I do?
If you don't see the message in your inbox after signing up, please follow these steps:
- Check secondary folders: Check your Spam, Junk, or Promotions tab (if you use Gmail).
- Whitelist the domain: Ensure that emails from @prometeoapi.com are not blocked by your company’s firewall or security filters.
- Wait a few minutes: Some corporate servers have inspection processes that may delay delivery by 2 or 3 minutes.
- Persistent issues: If the problem continues, please contact our Technical Support team for further assistance.
