Key Things to Handle

Follow these best practices when integrating with Ztake API to ensure smooth operations:

1. Webhook Implementation

Always implement webhooks for real-time updates on transactions. Never rely solely on polling APIs to check transaction status.

2. Idempotency

Use unique vendor_id for each transaction to prevent duplicate payouts. The same client_ref_id will return the status of the original transaction.

3. Error Handling

Implement proper error handling for all API responses. Check both HTTP status codes and the response body for detailed error messages.

4. Rate Limiting

Our API has rate limits to ensure service quality. Implement exponential backoff for retries when you hit rate limits.

5. IP Whitelisting

For enhanced security, whitelist your server IPs in the Ztake dashboard. This prevents unauthorized API access even if your API key is compromised.

6. Balance Management

Always check your balance before initiating bulk payouts. Set up low balance alerts to avoid payout failures.

7. Testing

Use our sandbox environment for testing. Never test with production API keys or real bank accounts.
