    Procedure

    Step 1: Preparation

    1. Obtain the application ID, bound merchant account, and related keys and certificates from Alipay Sandbox for test payments.

      Important

      To ensure that your Alipay or WeChat merchant account can receive payments, use an Alipay Sandbox account to test purchasing a SaaS Boost product.

      1. Log on to the Alipay Sandbox.

        Note

        If you do not have an Alipay Sandbox account, follow the on-screen instructions to create one.

      2. On the Sandbox application page in the console, save the following parameters.

        • Application ID

        • Bound merchant account (PID)

      3. In the Development information section, for Interface signing method, select System default key, and then configure the signing.

        • If you only want to try the SaaS Boost service, use the public key mode.

        • To test a service before you publish it, use the certificate mode.

        Warning

        The default key provided by the sandbox uses the public key or certificate mechanism and the RSA2 algorithm to securely encrypt information exchanged between your application and the sandbox. If your API calls do not involve fund outflows, we recommend using the public key mode for signing. If your API calls involve fund outflows, you must use the certificate mode for signing.

        Certificate mode

        In the Certificate mode section, click View and save the following information:

        • Application private key

        • Application public key certificate

        • Alipay public key certificate

        • Alipay root certificate

        Public key mode

        In the Public key mode section, click View and save the following information:

        • Application private key

        • Alipay public key

    2. Obtain the application IDs, merchant IDs, and related keys and certificates from Alipay and WeChat for the production environment.

      Important

      Configure your payment environment. Debug your code and test payment workflows in the sandbox. Switch to the production environment only after confirming that everything works as expected.

      Alipay

      1. Log on to the Alipay Open Platform and integrate the Compute Nest service application that you prepared in Prerequisites with the Alipay Open Platform. For more information, see the Alipay Open Platform Technical Integration Guide.

      2. After integrating your application, obtain the Alipay parameters for the production environment.

        1. Obtain the application ID (APPID). For more information, see Obtain an application ID.

        2. Obtain the merchant ID (PID). For more information, see Obtain a merchant ID.

        3. Obtain the key and certificate. For more information, see View key/certificate.

          Warning

          • When you register for the first time, you must configure a signing method. For more information, see Set key signing method and Set certificate signing method.

          • If your API calls do not involve fund outflows, we recommend using the key signing method. If your API calls involve fund outflows, you must use the certificate signing method.

      WeChat

      1. Log on to the WeChat Pay Merchant Platform and integrate the Compute Nest service application that you prepared in Prerequisites with the WeChat Pay Merchant Platform. For more information, see the Integration Guide.

      2. After integrating your application, apply for and configure the required parameters for your WeChat Pay workflow. For more information, see Parameter application, Configure an API key, and Download and configure merchant certificates.

      3. Obtain the WeChat Pay parameters.

        Important

        SaaS Boost supports WeChat Pay API v3. Ensure the parameters you provide are for the production environment of WeChat Pay API v3.

        1. Obtain the application ID (AppID) and merchant ID (mchid).

        2. Obtain the API v3 key. For more information, see the API v3 key introduction document.

        3. Apply for a merchant API certificate. For more information, see Private key and certificate.

        4. Obtain the merchant API certificate serial number and the merchant API private key certificate.

          Log on to the WeChat Pay Merchant Platform and navigate to API security > API certificate > View certificate.

          Note

          The merchant API certificate serial number is the unique identifier for the certificate, not part of the certificate's content.

    Step 2: Deploy SaaS Boost

    1. Create a personal SaaS Boost repository

    Fork the SaaS Boost repository to your personal account and copy the HTTPS repository URL.

    Code directory description:

    .
├── boost.common       # Toolkit
├── boost.front        # Frontend code
├── boost.helm         # Helm package code
├── boost.server       # Service code
├── boost.serverless   # Scheduled tasks or serverless components
├── docs               # Documentation

    Compute Nest SaaS Boost is a development framework that helps you quickly build, deploy, scale, and sell SaaS applications. You must fork the source code repository for the following reasons:

    • Private parameter configuration: When deploying a SaaS application, you need to provide sensitive or environment-specific static parameters, such as network configurations, payment keys, and database connection strings. Because these parameters are confidential and environment-specific, do not hard-code or store them in the public SaaS Boost source code. Instead, the SaaS Boost service automatically configures these static parameters in your personal repository during deployment.

    • Customization requirements: You might need to customize SaaS Boost for specific business scenarios or customer requirements, such as creating custom webpages. Forking the source code repository allows you to modify or add code in your personal repository to meet these special needs without affecting the reusability of the original SaaS Boost project.
