# Create your app

First, [sign up](https://dashboard.bridgeapi.io/signup) on our dashboard. Then you can create a sandbox app and activate **Bank payment** to test our payment solution.

To begin using BridgeAPI, follow these steps:

1. **Sign Up**: Visit our Dashboard and [sign up](https://dashboard.bridgeapi.io/signup) for an account.
2. **Create a Sandbox App**: After signing up, you can create a sandbox application on our platform. This is your testing environment for evaluating our payment solution.
3. **Our team will activate** for you the **Payment Account**.

  Everything created in Sandbox app cannot be migrated to the Production app later on. This is not a preproduction environment.

Once you have created your sandbox app, you will receive a set of API credentials.\
These credentials consist of a `client_id` and a `client_secret`. These credentials are required for authenticating your application in every API request.

  The **client_secret** should be handled with the utmost security to ensure that **only your servers** can make calls and trigger actions on your app.
