Everything You Need to Add your Wallet
Before following this guide, please make sure you’ve created a Nicky account.
If you haven’t done so yet, head over to our “Getting Started” guide for step-by-step instructions.
If you already have a Nicky account, please ensure the following setup steps have been completed:
- Owning a Wallet
- Setting up your Merchant Configuration
If any of these steps are missing, we recommend returning to the “Getting Started” guide to complete them before proceeding.

Connecting to an Exchange / WSP
Connecting your Nicky account to an exchange requires two steps.
First, create a set of API Keys in your exchange account. Then, add those keys in the Settings section of your Nicky account.
Creating or finding API details
The process may vary depending on the exchange you’re using.
Keep in mind that the private key is only shown once at the time of creation, so make sure to copy it and store it in a safe place.
If you chose one of our recommended exchanges or Wallet Service Providers, you can simply follow the instructions in the corresponding guide or the exchanges / Wallet Service Providers guide found below.

Setting up your Wallet Connections
You’re almost there! Now we’ll connect the API you just created to your Nicky account.
Once this step is complete, you’ll be ready to send your first payment and experience just how easy Nicky is to use.
Adding API details to your Nicky account
- You should already be in the “Settings” tab. If not, click on “Settings” at the top of your screen.
- Now, click on the “Wallets” section. The screen shown below will appear, where you’ll need to click on “Add Connection“.
- Click on the dropdown menu and move on to the following step.
- You’ll need to choose your “Wallet Service Provider (WSP)” now. Don’t worry, you can create more than one connection if you use multiple WSPs. In the case that you are using a Wallet that is not on our list, you can just click on “Manual” and enter it there.
- The last step is to enter your “API Key Name” and “Private Key“, both of which you obtained during the step “Creating or finding an API Key“. You can also optionally add a name to help you easily recognise this connection.
Configuring Payment Routes
- Stay in the “Wallets” section, as we’ll now set up your payment routes. Each asset you want to accept should have a route connected to a Wallet Service Provider (WSP).
- The next step is to click on the “dropdown” and select your desired connection.
- The final step is to select the assets you want to accept and send, then click on “SAVE”.
You’re now ready to send and receive payments from your contacts or businesses.
We also offer many other helpful guides on our Support page. If you have questions, feel free to explore them, we recommend starting with “Payment Requests” and “Payments” after having completed this guide.
