API v1 preview

# Get access

Configure a business API key and your preview API origin.

## 1. Create a business account

Sign in or create an account, then create or select a business. A business administrator can issue server API keys. Personal accounts do not issue server API keys.

## 2. Save your key

Under Developers → API keys, create a key and save its secret in your server environment. The secret is shown once. Enable spending explicitly only if this integration should charge saved cards or start Checkout.

## 3. Configure your server

Set API_BASE_URL to https://api.ottomfg.com, without /api/v1 or a trailing slash, and use a key from the same environment. For testing access, contact help@ottomfg.com.

Server environment

```
export API_BASE_URL="https://api.ottomfg.com"
export OTTOMFG_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
