15-minute quickstart guide
Get your first Weavr integration working in just 15 minutes. This guide takes you from zero to processing your first transaction with a complete, hands-on approach.
By the end of this guide, you'll have:
✅ A working API connection to Weavr
✅ A corporate identity created and verified
✅ A managed accountManaged Account An account held at a financial institution that can be created and managed through the Weavr platform. Each account has a balance where customers can hold funds. Optionally, an IBAN can be assigned to enable wire transfers to bank accounts outside of Weavr. with funds
✅ A virtual cardVirtual Card A payment card that is created instantly and can be used for e-commerce and online purchases. Virtual cards are issued through the Mastercard network and are automatically enrolled in the 3D Secure program for increased security and limited fraud risk. They can be created in prepaid or debit mode. issued and ready to use
✅ Your first successful transaction processed
All the steps mentioned in this guide are also included in a postman collection, available from the API Credentials page in your embedder portalEmbedder Portal A web-based portal where embedders can access their Weavr account, manage API credentials, configure settings, view dashboards, and access documentation. The portal provides access to both sandbox and production environments, with separate credentials for each.. Here you'll also find an Environment file, containing all your profile IDs that can be uploaded directly to postman. Then simply follow the sequence of one of our pre-approved payment models, such as "Smarter Expenses"
Prerequisites
Before you start, you'll need:
1. Development environment
- Command line access (Terminal, Command Prompt, or PowerShell)
- cURL installed (or your preferred API client, like Postman)
- Text editor for viewing responses
2. Weavr sandbox account
If you don't have one yet: Open a Sandbox Account →
3. API credentials ready
From your Embedder Portal, on the API Credentials page under the Profiles tab, fetch and save your IDs listed below:
📋 Programme ID (example: 115079696319971359)
📋 API Key (base64-encoded, example: dpcYgcIKBp8BmNhfxHYBIQ==)
📋 Profile IDs (all numeric):
- Corporate Profile ID (example:
115079696331702303) - Managed AccountManaged Account An account held at a financial institution that can be created and managed through the Weavr platform. Each account has a balance where customers can hold funds. Optionally, an IBAN can be assigned to enable wire transfers to bank accounts outside of Weavr. Profile ID (example:
115079696351297567) - Managed CardManaged Card A payment card (virtual or physical) that can be created and managed through the Weavr platform. Cards can operate in prepaid mode (with their own balance) or debit mode (linked to a managed account). All cards must be assigned to a card assignee who is an Authorised User. Profile ID (example:
115079696398155807) - TransferTransfer A transaction that moves funds between instruments managed by Weavr. The source and destination instruments of a transfer transaction must be owned by the same identity. Transfers can be scheduled for future execution and can be performed in bulk operations. Profile ID (example:
115079696434790431) - Outgoing Wire TransferWire Transfer A transaction that moves funds between accounts. An incoming wire transfer moves funds from a third-party bank account to a Weavr managed account, while an outgoing wire transfer moves funds from a Weavr managed account to a third-party bank account. Wire transfers require the managed account to have an assigned IBAN (for EUR) or sort code and account number (for GBP). Profile ID (example:
115079696444882975)
Copy your values now - you'll need them for API calls. Store them securely and never commit them to version control.
✅ Checkpoint: You should have your Programme ID, API key, and all Profile IDs ready before proceeding.
API Environment Variables
0/13 configuredStep 1: Test API connection
Verify your setup works by making your first API call. Test connectivity by sending an empty request to the login endpoint - the validation errors confirm your API connection is working!
Test API connection

✅ Checkpoint Getting validation errors means your API key works and connectivity is established.
Troubleshooting connection issues
Getting {"invalidFields":[{"error":"REQUIRED","fieldName":"api-key"}]}?
- Check your API key is correct
- Verify the api-key header format:
api-key: YOUR_API_KEY - Ensure you're using the correct API key from Embedder PortalEmbedder Portal A web-based portal where embedders can access their Weavr account, manage API credentials, configure settings, view dashboards, and access documentation. The portal provides access to both sandbox and production environments, with separate credentials for each.
Getting a different error message?
- Any validation errors about missing fields: ✅ Success! API connection working
- 401 Unauthorized: Check your API key is valid
- 500 Internal Server Error: API issue, try again in a moment
✅ Checkpoint: You should see validation errors about missing required fields, confirming your API connection works.
