Getting Started

Everything you need to go from zero to a working integration.

What the Referral Partner API does

The Referral Partner API lets you onboard clients onto Debitura and track revenue share automatically. Typical uses:

  • Create and manage client accounts on behalf of your customers
  • Submit collection cases directly for linked clients
  • Preview pricing before a client commits to onboarding
  • Track your revenue share via the reporting endpoint
  • Receive real-time events via webhooks

Building a platform? If you're a SaaS or marketplace embedding Debitura for your users, this is the right API. If you're collecting your own debt, use the Customer API instead.

Prerequisites

Before you start coding:

  1. Partnership agreement — signed with Debitura
  2. API credentials — test and production API keys, provided by your partnership contact or generated at app.debitura.com/ReferralPartnerApiKey
  3. Read How It Works — understand the two-API architecture before writing any code

What you'll build

A typical referral partner integration has four components:

ComponentWhat it does
Client onboardingCreate creditor accounts, redirect to SDCA signing
Case submissionMint bearer tokens, submit cases via Customer API
WebhooksReceive events for onboarding completion, case updates, payments
Revenue trackingMost partners use the Partner Dashboard out of the box. Optionally, query the reporting endpoint to build custom earnings views.

See it in action: Try the live demo to see the white-label onboarding experience, and log into the Partner Dashboard with demo to explore case tracking and revenue reporting.

  1. How It Works — Two-API architecture, the flow, and what goes where
  2. Authentication — API key + bearer token model with code examples
  3. Environments — Test and production URLs for all services
  4. Quickstart — End-to-end: create a client, submit a case

What's Next

After completing the quickstart, move to the Integration Guides to build out each component of your integration.
