Learn how to use and integrate PowerBoard to empower your business
Follow the below getting started guide to seamlessly integrate into Powerboard.
PowerBoard Test Account
- Receive your Pre-production credentials
The first step to beginning your integration is to receive a PowerBoard test account. This will include pre-production API credentials required to begin integrating, and access to our PowerBoard merchant portal.
Reach out to your CBA contact who will help you organise an account for you. Alternatively, please click here to reach out to our support team.
- Invite additional users
PowerBoard will provide you with a pre-production admin account for the requested email address. Use the PowerBoard portal to invite any other users who will require access while integrating. You can find how on our user access guide.
- Add payment methods or connected services
Ensure all required payment methods and connected services are configured within your Pre-production account to complete your integration. You can add Alternative payment methods using your test credentials provided by each service or reach out to our Merchant Support Team to configure these on your behalf.
- Learn how to navigate the PowerBoard Portal
Read through our Powerboard Portal User Guide to learn how to navigate the portal.
A PowerBoard test account allows you to test your integration, however, there is no guarantee you will be able to make live payments.
Process payments with the PowerBoard Client SDK
The PowerBoard Client SDK is our low-code payments solutions that allows you to quickly get up and running accepting payments through PowerBoard. This SDK solution gives you the prebuilt payment forms required to capture Card Payments with 3DSecure 2.0, and includes all available Alternative Payment methods currently available within the PowerBoard platform.

Once you integrated all your required features, ensure to test your integration is properly handling transactions, edge cases, and errors.
We have curated a list of test-case scenarios that are designed to cover various transaction scenarios (success and failure) when you are integrating into PowerBoard. We highly recommend that developers follow these while building the integration with PowerBoard and also as part of their QA testing in addition to their internal test scenarios.
