The Pila dashboard is where you run your business on Pila. You can check your balance, look up customers and their virtual accounts, follow every naira in and out, send payouts, and see how your integration is behaving. Every screen shares the same frame: a sidebar on the left for moving between sections, and a top bar showing where you are, which mode you are in, and who is signed in.

​
The sidebar

There are two Settings entries. The one near the top controls how money moves — see Business settings. The one at the bottom holds your personal profile and your company’s verification — see Profile and security.

​
The top bar

  • Page title on the left. Detail screens show the path, for example Wallets > Wallet Detail.
  • Mode badge and switch. The red SANDBOX badge and the switch beside it show which mode you are in.
  • Account menu on the right, with your initials, your name and the business you are signed in to.

Patterns that repeat

These work the same way on most pages, so learning them once covers the whole dashboard.

​
Sandbox and live

The dashboard runs in two modes. Sandbox is a safe copy of Pila for testing; live is your production business. Live access opens once your company verification and SLA are complete — see Company verification. To switch, select the switch next to the mode badge in the top bar. Every list, balance, key and log on the page reloads for the other mode.
Data does not carry across. Sandbox and live keep separate records, API keys, webhooks and logs. Check the badge before you make a transfer or change a setting.
