What are charge keys?

Charge keys are used to start a charge and create a payment method for a charging session. A charge key is the connected to a Team Wallet, which is used for paying the charging sessions.

Charge keys can be assigned to a Team Member. If you do this, you will be able to see who has used the charge key and their name will appear in the transaction exports.

Please note that if your Team is frozen, due to a negative Wallet balance or unpaid invoices, you will not be able to start charging. If the charge key is assigned to a Team Member and they try to charge, while the Team Wallet is frozen, they will pay for the charge with their Personal Monta Wallet.
