Getting Started with Lorum
Everything you need to get started with Lorum - access the portal, set up API credentials, invite team members, and find your sandbox and production endpoints.
Lorum is a multi-currency payments platform that lets you onboard customers, manage accounts, and move money across multiple currencies. It can be accessed in two ways depending on your use case.
How to Use Lorum
Lorum can be accessed via the portal or the API. Both provide access to the same platform - the right choice depends on whether your team needs a no-code interface or a programmatic integration.
Via the Portal
The Lorum portal is a no-code interface for operations and finance teams. Use it to onboard customers, manage accounts, initiate and review payments, and monitor transactions - without writing any code.
- Sandbox: sandbox.lorum.com
- Production: app.lorum.com
Via the API
The Lorum API allows developers to build and automate payments workflows programmatically. All portal functionality is available via API, making it suitable for integrations, custom dashboards, and automated operations.
See the API Reference for the full endpoint catalogue, or continue below to get your credentials set up.
Getting Access
To access the Sandbox environment, fill out the Contact Us form on the Lorum website, or reach out to your Lorum contact directly. You will receive an invite to the sandbox portal and be able to generate API credentials from there.
API Credentials
The Lorum API uses OAuth 2.0 authentication. You will need a client ID and client secret to generate an access token for API requests.
Once you have Sandbox access, you can create and manage credentials in the Lorum portal under Settings > Client Credentials.
Copy and securely store your client secret immediately after creation. It will not be shown again once you close the dialog.
If you suspect your client secret has been compromised, you can rotate it from the same section of the portal.
For full details on authenticating to the API, see our dedicated Guides page.
Team Members
You can invite team members to your organisation under Settings > Team in the portal. Enter their email address and assign them a role - they will receive an email invite and gain access once they activate their account.
When sending the invitation, you can assign only a single role. After the user has activated their account, you can update their permissions at any time and assign multiple roles if required.
