Zapier

This guide will walk you through the process of connecting your HitPay account with Zapier, allowing you to automate your workflow and streamline payment processes for your small business. With Zapier, you can create customized automated workflows, known as “zaps,” that trigger actions in response to specific events in your HitPay account. Let’s get started!

​

Step 1: Sign up and Log in to HitPay

If you haven’t already, sign up for a HitPay account at our website (www.hitpayapp.com). Once you’ve created an account, log in to your HitPay dashboard using your credentials.

​

Step 2: Obtain API Keys

Before setting up the Zapier integration, you’ll need to obtain your API keys from the HitPay dashboard. These API keys will serve as the authentication method for connecting HitPay with Zapier.

1. In your HitPay dashboard, navigate to “Payment Gateway” and select “API Keys.”
2. You will find your API Key which is used for identifying and authenticating your account. Keep these keys secure and do not share them publicly.

​

Step 3: Sign up and Log in to Zapier

To begin using the Zapier integration, sign up for a Zapier account at the Zapier website (www.zapier.com). If you already have an account, log in to your Zapier account using your credentials.

​

Step 4: Install the HitPay Zapier App

As the HitPay Zapier App is private, you can install it by directly clicking on the installation link provided below.

Step 5: Connect HitPay and Authenticate using API Keys

Now that you have the HitPay Zapier App installed, it’s time to connect your HitPay account and authenticate using the API keys.

1. In Zapier, click on “Make a Zap” to start creating a new zap.
2. Choose “HitPay” as the trigger app.
3. Select the specific trigger event you want to use. Available triggers include:
   • Charges (created and updated): This trigger occurs when a new charge is created or an existing charge is updated in your HitPay account.
   • Payouts (Create): This trigger occurs when a payout is created in your HitPay account.
   • Invoice (Created): This trigger occurs when a new invoice is created in your HitPay account.
4. Follow the prompts to connect your HitPay account. Enter the API Key that you obtained from the HitPay dashboard.

​

Step 6: Set Actions (Optional)

After setting up the trigger, you can configure actions to be performed when the trigger event occurs. You can connect HitPay to other apps supported by Zapier to automate various tasks.

​

Step 7: Test the Zap

Before activating the zap, it’s a good practice to test it with sample data to ensure everything is working as expected.

​

Step 8: Activate the Zap

Once you’re satisfied with your zap configuration, activate it, and watch your workflow automation in action!
