The Jetpay platforms offers two distinct environments to support development, testing, and live operation:
- The Sandbox environment (DEMO);
- The Production envionment (PROD).
Sandbox Environment (DEMO)
Sandbox environment base URL: https://extapi.demo.jetpay.baselinepayments.com
The sandbox environment is a dedicated testing environment that simulates the Jetpay API behavior without performing any real transactions.
- Purpose: Integration, testing, and exploration.
- Behavior: Fully functional API responses with simulated outcomes.
- No real-world impact: No actual payments or records are processed.
You should use the Sandbox environment to:
- Develop and test your integration;
- Validate request formats and response handling;
- Experiment with different API features safely.
Production Environment (PROD)
Production environment base URL: https://extapi.jetpay.baselinepayments.com
The production environment is the live system where real data is processed and actual operations are executed.
- Purpose: Live, real-world usage;
- Behavior: Executes real transactions and writes to the live database;
- Secure and monitored for reliability and compliance.
You must switch to Production only once your integration has been fully tested and verified in the Sandbox environment.
