Test environment

Use the test environment to develop and test your integration without affecting real data or incurring charges. The test environment mirrors production capabilities.
  • Separate API credentials with key_test prefix
  • Free API calls for testing
  • Isolated from production data
  • Safe for experimentation

Production environment

Use the production environment for live integrations with real data. Your subscription plan determines how Sandbox bills API calls.
  • Separate API credentials with key_live prefix
  • Billed API usage
  • Real data and transactions
  • Production-grade reliability
Never use production credentials in your test environment or vice versa. Keep your credentials separate and secure.
