A step-by-step guide to setting up payments and understanding Test Mode.
Go to portal.flik.co.nz and log in with your credentials.
On the left-hand side of the screen, you will see a navigation sidebar.
In the sidebar menu, find and click on Payment Methods. This will take you to the page where you can manage your payment options.
Click the New Payment Method button.
Fill in the required details:
Click Add to create the payment method.
After entering your details, a Client ID and Client Secret will appear in the side panel.
Important: If you plan to integrate Flik with your website, you must save these credentials now. They will not be accessible later.
If you only plan to use Payment Links or Payment Squares, you can skip this—these credentials are not needed.
Flik offers two ways to use Test Mode:
In the sidebar, you can toggle Test Mode on. This puts the entire portal into test mode, meaning all transactions initiated while this is on will be treated as test transactions, regardless of the payment method used.
When creating a payment method, you can enable the Test Method switch within the creation form. This creates a specific "Test" payment method. Transactions made using this specific method will always be test transactions.
Tip: It is recommended to use both Global Test Mode and a Test Payment Method when testing to ensure no real money is moved.
