The Sandbox environment is your testing ground. It’s designed for trying out new configurations, running test scenarios, and making sure everything works as expected before moving to production. This environment mirrors the production setup but operates in a safe space where changes won’t affect your live data or operations. When your account is activated from the Welcome Email, it is automatically configured in the Sandbox environment so you can start integrating right away.

  • Purpose: Test and validate changes without impacting live data.
  • Use cases: Trial new check packages, test API integrations, validate webhook setups, and troubleshoot issues.
  • Safe zone: No real checks are processed, allowing you to experiment freely.
  • Access: Generally accessible to developers, testers, and any team members who need to validate changes.

Best practices for using environments

1

Test in Sandbox first

Always use the Sandbox environment to validate new packages, requests, or integration changes before deploying them to Production.
2

Monitor behaviour

Regularly review both environments to catch any discrepancies early.
3

Control access

Ensure access to the Production environment is restricted to authorised users only, to maintain security and compliance.
Sandbox and Production accounts use separate API tokens. Make sure you’re sending the token that matches the environment you intend to call.
