Production endpoints
Use these URLs when serving real buyers with live transactions.Sandbox endpoints
Use these URLs during development, integration testing, and QA. The sandbox environment mirrors the full production API surface but processes no real money and carries no financial risk.Sandbox and production environments use separate API keys and separate data stores. A buyer or order created in the sandbox will never appear in production and vice versa. Always confirm you are pointing your integration at the correct base URL before going live.
Choosing the right environment
Sandbox
Use the sandbox environment for all local development, CI/CD pipelines, QA testing, and UAT. No real payments are processed, and no financial liability is incurred.
Production
Switch to production URLs only after your integration has passed end-to-end testing in sandbox. Ensure your production API key is stored securely and never committed to source control.
