Introduction

Qonto is a European business finance solution. It offers banking, financing, bookkeeping and spend management solutions to SMEs and Freelancers.

​

Configure Qonto

Prerequisite(s)

• Register account on the Qonto Developer Portal
• Obtain a Client ID, secret, staging token from Qonto. The connector requires an Oauth2 authentication, which needs to be configured by Qonto.
• Approval from Qonto is needed before going live (Production environment).
• Activate the Qonto integration on the Chift platform.

Process

I. Obtain Sandbox Credentials (Client ID, Secret, Staging Token)

To access Qonto’s sandbox environment and test the integration with Chift, follow the steps below:

1. Create an App on the Qonto Developer Portal

   • Go to the Qonto Developer Portal.
   • Sign up and create a new application to obtain your access credentials.
   • This will give you the necessary credentials to authenticate with the Sandbox environment.

2. Select the Integration Type

   • Choose the option: “Connect your customers Qonto accounts to your platform.”

3. Fill in Application Details

   • Upload your logo
   • Enter the application name
   • Add the redirect URI: https://chift.app/oauth2/redirect

4. Select the Required Scopes
   To ensure the Chift connector functions properly, request the following scopes:

   Scope	Purpose
   organization.read	Access basic organization information
   client.read	View existing customers
   client.write	Create new customers
   client_invoices.read	Access customer invoices
   client_invoices.write	Create customer invoices
   supplier_invoice.read	Access supplier invoices
   supplier_invoice.write	Create supplier invoices (optional)

5. Get Your Sandbox Credentials
   Once the app is created, Qonto will automatically generate and display your sandbox credentials:

   • client_id
   • client_secret
   • x-qonto-staging-token

II. Obtain Production Credentials

Important: You must first complete the sandbox setup before requesting production credentials.

1. Request Production Access in the Developer Portal

   • In your Qonto app dashboard, switch to the Production tab.
   • Click “Release my app” to begin the production access request.

2. Reconfirm App Information
   You will need to re-enter your application details:

   • Logo
   • Application name
   • Redirect URI: https://chift.app/oauth2/redirect

3. Approval Process by Qonto
   Qonto will reach out to validate your application and understand your integration use case. This step is required before production access is granted.

4. Receive Production Credentials
   After approval, Qonto will send you a document containing your production credentials. This file will include:

   • client_id
   • client_secret
   • x-qonto-staging-token (if your request was initially made in the sandbox)

   Ensure the redirect URIs listed in their response exactly match the ones submitted in your app configuration.
