Explore the dashboard

The dashboard is mainly organized in separate sections. Each section represents a particular area of the API (example: Transactions) or a feature provided by FedaPay.

In most cases, you can use the dashboard to perform specific actions such as refunding a payment made by a customer or payment request for the funds available on your balance. And all of this without using the API thus making the dashboard an useful tool for managing your business.
