A digital ecosystem plays a vital role in your business.

Alipay is providing an easy way of integration of APIs. By creating a developer account and following minimal instructions a user can integrate APIs.
Create a developer account at Alipay home
By clicking on this link a user can create a developer account
after visiting the page click on the Login
Or you can click on this signup URL directly if you don’t have login credentials
After entering the basic details a user can have a developer account to integrate the APIs.
Set Public and Private Keys for Alipay account
After creating the developer account then login on the sandbox dashboard and then you can see the “Integration Settings” section and click on that.
As you can see a button “Edit Public Key”, click on this button a new modal will display on the screen as shown below.
If you are a “Mac” user then click on “For Mac” otherwise for windows click on “For Windows”. Now a key generator tool will start downloading. After completion of downloading you can see a zip file downloaded at the download location and you will have to unzip that file. Now you can see the files and folders as shown in the below screenshot.
Run file to see private and public keys
Now double click on the “Run” file and a modal will display on the screen. On that modal choose the new key and then see the private and public keys in the different sections. Keep those keys as backup in text files for future reference.
After all of these, come back on the Alipay sandbox dashboard and paste that public key here in the box as shown in the below screenshot and then click on submit button. In this way a user can set up a developer account to integrate the Alipay APIs easily.
Now the user has a pair of keys (Private/Public) and a public user can copy from the Alipay sandbox dashboard to validate the Alipay response in his code. Because corresponding a pair of keys is used by Alipay as well to encrypt and decrypt the response and in the same the pair keys user has used to encrypt and decrypt the request. And by submitting the public key here and copying the Alipay public key user and Alipay exchange the public keys with each other. So that when a user sends an encrypted request on Alipay then Alipay by using the public can decrypt that request and then Alipay sends an encrypted response and by using the Alipay’s public key user can decrypt the response.
