# Get started
This guide takes you through setting up an Intergiro account and making your first test payment.
# Step 1. Get a test account
Get started with our Payment Gateway by creating a test merchant account. Please contact us at acquiring@intergiro.com to be given test API keys.
# Step 2. Integrate solution that best fits your needs
Our Payment Gateway is typically used to solve two common use cases.
In our Payment Gateway we refer to Payments as Orders
| One-off orders | Repeat customer orders | |
|---|---|---|
| Embeddable card input widget for collecting card details | Yes | Yes |
| API integration required | No (only required to embed card widget to website) | Yes |
| Save your customers and their cards for repeated or recurring orders | No | Yes |
| Sale (autocapture) available | Yes | Yes |
| Capture, Reversal, Refund, Settlement reports | Available via Merchant Portal or API | Available via Merchant Portal or API |
| Integration effort | Low | Medium |
| 3-D Secure | Fully automated | Extra integration steps required. |
When integrating to our Payment Gateway, it is required to use one of our card input widgets. Our widgets keep you as the merchant out of PCI-scope (an SAQ might be required depending on payment volume).
If you want to be in full control of card input, then a better fit for you is our Acquiring API
# Step 3. Get a live account and start processing live payments
For us to provide you with API-keys to your live merchant account, you must have
- been approved and onboarded with Intergiro
- successfully integrated and made test payments
Once all requirements have been met, you will receive live API-keys as well as access to our Merchant portal (opens new window) where you are able to monitor your sales, receive settlement reports and more.
