NewEnhancement
A new home for the Pila documentation

The Pila docs have been rebuilt from the ground up — a new landing page, a task-first entry point, and a reorganised reference that mirrors how an integration is actually built.

Task-based get started

The new Get Started hub lets you search the documentation by what you are trying to do — “give a customer a dedicated NUBAN”, “issue a virtual USD card”, “verify a webhook signature” — rather than by which endpoint you think you need.

Restructured API reference

Endpoints are now grouped by what they do: Wallets, Cards, General services and Webhooks, each behind a short set of get-started and core-concepts pages.

  • Quickstart — create a wallet and send your first transfer in four calls.
  • Authentication — the Authorization and AppId header pair, in one place.
  • Response format — the entity envelope, status codes, and why a 200 on a transfer does not mean it settled.
  • Glossary — NUBAN, BVN, BIN, route, pool account and the rest, in plain language.

Every previous /docs/… URL redirects to its new location, so existing links and bookmarks keep working.

Dashboard guide

A walkthrough of the dashboard itself — Overview, Wallets, Transactions, Payouts and BaaS settings — covering what each figure means and which settings to configure before going live.

Expanded webhook guidance

Verifying webhook events now includes signature validation examples in Node.js, Python and PHP, constant-time comparison, IP allowlisting, and guidance on handling duplicate deliveries.
