# Settlex Flow

Settlex lets you pay per request instead of monthly billing by combining:

* **Settlex API (`/api`)** for onboarding, party setup, API key, and balance
* **Settlex Gateway (`/gateway`)** for metered provider calls using your funded party balance

## Prerequisites

1. Make sure you have your Canton Wallet funded.
2. Create a user account via our **(`/api`)** endpoints.
3. Create a party once you have your user set up with us.
4. Once you get the partyId from step 3, transfer funds to this party, this will serve as your primary funding wallet for accessing all providers that we support. 
5. Create an api key (x-settlex-api-key) through our **(`/api`)** service and you are all set up.
6. You can query your balance through our **(`/api`)** service.
