Account Setup

Register and configure your Sans Mercantile account for secure platform access.

Create your account

Begin by registering with your business credentials. Provide company details, a valid email address, and any required compliance information for your industry.

Verify and onboard

Confirm your email address and complete identity verification. For enterprise accounts, additional KYC and contract reviews may be required.

Generate credentials

Once verified, open the dashboard and generate a new API key. Treat this key like any other secret and store it in a protected secret manager.

Environment configuration

Configure separate environments for development, staging, and production:

# .env.local
NEXUS_API_KEY=your-production-key
NEXUS_ENVIRONMENT=production

Access controls and governance

Use role-based access controls in the dashboard to limit who can create keys, change settings, or access compliance data.

Best practices

  • Use distinct API keys for test and production workloads.
  • Rotate keys regularly and revoke any unused credentials.
  • Document team roles and maintain an audit trail for account changes.
