Key Differences Between Sandbox and Production Environments

We recommend utilizing the sandbox environment exclusively for testing API request/response behaviors, while reserving the production environment for all other types of testing activities.

Distinctions:

1. No KYC Registration or API Key Creation Required: The sandbox environment eliminates the need for actual identity verification and API key generation.

2. Virtual User and Account Data: All user and account information within the sandbox is simulated and not linked to real individuals.

3. No Actual Fund Transfers: The sandbox environment does not facilitate real financial transactions; all processes are entirely simulated.

4. Webhook Callbacks Are Not Triggered: In the sandbox environment, webhooks will not initiate any callback events.

Conclusion

We encourage you to leverage the sandbox environment thoroughly to validate your integration before deploying it in the production environment. This ensures that your application functions as intended and minimizes the risk of issues in a live setting.
