Instamojo

Introduction

Instamojo is India's e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet. We need to configure API key and Auth Token to receive payment for this plugin.


Instamojo has two environments for transaction Live and Sandbox(Test Mode). Sandbox environment used to test transactions before going live that will only create dummy transactions. Live environment is actual environment where all transactions are not dummy and paid actually.

Live Environment

For Live environment you need to use your Instamojo account API Key as 'API Key(Live)' and Auth Token as 'Auth Token(Live)' in plugin configuration. And select Live in 'Transaction Mode'.

Sandbox Environment

For Sandboxenvironment you need to use your Test Instamojo account API Key as 'API Key(Sandbox)' and Auth Token as 'Auth Token(Sandbox)' in plugin configuration. And select Sandbox/Test Mode in 'Transaction Mode'.


To get Sandbox or Live API Key and Auth Token (credential) we need to create account as Instamojo. For getting Live credentials you need to create your account at https://www.instamojo.com/ and for Sandbox credentials create account at https://test.instamojo.com/.
