Relay

Overview

Relay is part of the Paycux platform. This page explains what it does, when to reach for it, and the smallest working setup you can ship.

Everything below applies to both environments. Build and test in staging, then promote the same configuration to production without changing your code — only the API key and client ID differ.

How it works

How it works is handled by Relay rather than by your application code. Paycux exposes it through the same API surface as the rest of the platform, so the client you already configured needs no additional setup.

Configuration lives in the dashboard and is versioned per environment. Change it in staging, confirm the behaviour, then apply the same change to production.

Before you begin

Before you start, make sure you have the following in place:

• A Paycux account with access to the project you are configuring.
• An API key for the environment you are working in. Staging keys start with sk_test_; production keys start with sk_live_.
• Admin access on the system you are connecting, so you can create the application and read its metadata.
• A redirect URI registered in the Paycux dashboard under Developer → Redirects.

Making requests
