Create your entity

❗️

To get started you must contact Loop ([email protected]) first.

Every entity needs to create an account to get started. Creating an account will generate a unique entityId which identifies you within the Loop ecosystem. In addition, an API key will automatically be created for you which will be needed to authenticate all API requests.

You can create an by using the create entity endpoint and pass in the codeprovided to you by Loop Crypto, an entityName, email and define the acceptedPaymentTypes.

Payment types

The payment types define the tokens and networks that an end User can pay with on your platform and where the funds should be sent, defined as thepayoutDesinations.

For ease, you can pass in the tokenSymbols like USDC and USDT instead of passing in their tokenAddresses. In the response we will return the symbol and the tokenAddress it's linked to.

The List Tokens endpoint will tell you the available tokens and networks to chose from. If you do not see a network or token that you would like, please contact Loop.

This list of paymentTypes will be used in the Pay component to define the payment methods displayed and available to the payer.

By default, each Merchant will inherent this configuration of acceptable tokens and networks. You can configure a unique set of accepted payment methods for any given Merchant in the createMerchant and updateMerchant endpoints.
