Why Use the Sandbox
Using our sandbox environment provides several benefits:- Risk-Free Testing: Test all API endpoints without affecting real data or triggering actual transactions
- Development Flexibility: Experiment with different configurations and workflows
- Debugging Support: Identify and fix issues in a controlled environment
- Team Collaboration: Allow your development team to work simultaneously without conflicts
- Isolated Data Sources: Sandbox uses fictive FX rates and does not connect to production data sources
Sandbox Base URL

Sandbox vs Production
| Feature | Sandbox | Production |

| Real Transactions | No | Yes |
| Data Persistence | Limited | Guaranteed |
| Rate Limits | Relaxed | Standard |
Best Practices
- Separate Credentials: Use different API keys for sandbox and production environments
- Environment Variables: Store your base URL in environment variables to easily switch between environments
- Thorough Testing: Test all edge cases and error scenarios before moving to production
- Monitor Responses: Pay attention to API responses and error messages during development
