I'm integrating a Nigeria API into my app.

API: Paystack ~ African online payments
Provider: Paystack
Auth: requires credentials (sign up: https://paystack.com/docs)
Pricing: paid
Base URL: https://api.paystack.co
Important note: Nigerian-origin (now part of Stripe); excellent REST API using a secret bearer key, with per-transaction pricing and country availability spanning Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and Kenya.

Source: Paystack (https://paystack.com/docs)
Source type: Provider API or developer docs
Endpoint type: Provider API base URL
Integration difficulty: Needs bearer
Last checked: 2026-07-05
Production caveat: Keep credentials server-side and confirm current limits, pricing, and webhook/error behaviour in the provider docs.

Help me set up the correct onboarding/authentication path and make the first valid request ~ explain exactly where credentials go and what must happen before production.
