# Onboarding

> How businesses join Bridge: sandbox access, credentials, products, and going live.

Onboarding is self-serve. Sign up, get instant sandbox access, generate keys, and start calling the APIs. No sales call to begin.

<Card title="Open the Dashboard" icon="window" href="https://app.bridge.usereli.tech" horizontal>
  Create your sandbox account, generate credentials, and start building.
</Card>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up — instant sandbox">
    Create your account in the Dashboard. Your sandbox organization and initial credentials are issued immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate API keys">
    Under **Settings → Developer**, create a `keyId` + `secret` pair. Exchange them for a Bearer token via [`/generate-token`](/authentication). Keys are bound to an environment (`sandbox` to start).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick your products">
    Enable the products you need — Wallets, Lending, Collections. Your token's `scopes` reflect what your key can do.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Integrate & test">
    Follow a [recipe](/recipes/kyc-onboarding) end to end in sandbox: onboard a customer, open a wallet, originate a loan, collect a payment.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go live">
    Submit KYB and complete checks to enable a production key. Sandbox and production data are separate.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  FSPs (banks/PSPs/MNOs) onboard through our partnerships team, not this self-serve flow. If you represent an FSP, reach out via [Support](mailto:hello@xbridge.co.tz).
</Note>

## What you get

* **Credentials**: a `keyId` + `secret`, exchanged for \~1h Bearer tokens.
* **Environments**: `sandbox` for building, `production` after approval.
* **A customer store (KYC)**: the authoritative identity record every wallet and loan attaches to.
