Step 1: Create an API Key in Aloha Pay

Before configuring Aloha Pro, you need to generate a secret key (API Key) from the Aloha Pay panel. This key authorizes communication between both platforms.

Log in to your Aloha Pay panel and navigate to the sidebar menu. Find and select:


📍 Team Access  →  API Keys |

On the API Keys page, click the button in the top-right corner:


+ New API Key |


1.3 Assign a descriptive name

In the dialog that appears, enter a name that identifies the purpose of this key. We recommend something like:


  • Aloha Pro Production
  • Aloha Pro Integration


Click Create to continue.


1.4 Copy and save the key

⚠️ Important: save your key nowOnce generated, the Secret Key is only shown once. Copy it and store it in a safe place before closing this dialog. If you lose it, you will need to create a new API Key. |


After creating the key, the full Secret Key will be displayed. Copy it to use in the next step.


Step 2: Configure the API Key in Aloha Pro

With the API Key copied, you now need to enter it in the Aloha Pro settings to activate the connection.


2.1 Go to General Settings

From the Aloha Pro panel, navigate to:


📍 General Settings  →  Payment Methods  →  Aloha Pay (Local Payment) |


2.2 Paste the secret key

Locate the following field:


Aloha Pay Secret Key (Payment Link Creation) |


Paste the API Key you copied from Aloha Pay in Step 1 into that field.


Step 3: Save the configuration

Click the Save button to apply the changes.


✅ All done!, Once the configuration is saved, the integration becomes active. From that moment on, you can create payment links directly from any booking's detail view in Aloha Pro. |


How to create a payment link from a booking?

With the integration active, the flow for sending a payment link to a client is as follows:


  1. Open the corresponding booking detail in Aloha Pro.
  2. Find the option to create a payment link within the booking detail.
  3. Aloha Pro will automatically generate the link using Aloha Pay.
  4. Share the link with your client so they can complete the payment.
