{% endhint %}

### Prerequisites

* A **Nomod account**
* Access to the **Finance Portal** where you manage payment gateways
* Your **Nomod API Secret Key**

### Step 1: Obtain Your Nomod API Token

1. Log in to the **Nomod app**.
2. Navigate to the **Settings** section.
3. Generate a new **API Secret Key**.
4. Copy the **API Secret Key**.

### Step 2: Access the Finance Portal

1. Log in to the **Finance Portal**.
2. Open **Payment Processing > Nomod**.

### Step 3: Add the API Token

1. Paste the **API Secret Key** into the provided field.
2. Click **Save** to complete the integration.
3. Run a small test payment to confirm the connection.

### Step 4: Invoice Generation with Nomod

When using **Nomod**, an **invoice** is generated for each payment request.

* The invoice remains valid for **24 hours** only.
* After that period, the invoice expires and payment is no longer possible.

### Troubleshooting

* Invoice expired: reissue a new payment request; old links will not work after 24 hours
* Payment pending: allow up to 20 minutes for processing before retrying
* Wrong account or keys: generate a new API Secret in Nomod and update the portal

If you no longer wish to use Nomod for processing payments:

1. Go to the **Nomod** settings in the **Finance Portal**.
2. Clear the **API token** field.
3. Click **Save** to disable the integration.
