How the trial works
Checkout registers your account and collects billing details (email, business address, VAT if applicable) so an invoice can be prepared. API access is granted automatically — no waiting on us.
The trial is the real product, not a sample.
Nothing is billed up front. If you continue, you'll receive an invoice.
Near the end we'll reach out — both to answer questions and for feedback. Need longer to test an integration? Contact us and we'll extend it.
