The Jetpay platforms offers two distinct environments to support development, testing, and live operation:

- [The Sandbox environment ](https://docs.jetpay.baselinepayments.com/jetpay-environments#hv5Gc)(DEMO);
- [The Production envionment ](https://docs.jetpay.baselinepayments.com/jetpay-environments#hv5Gc)(PROD).



# Sandbox Environment (DEMO)

:::hint{type="info"}
**Sandbox environment base URL**: [https://extapi.demo.jetpay.baselinepayments.com](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)

:::hint{type="info"}
**Production environment base URL**:
[https://extapi.jetpay.baselinepayments.com](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.

:::hint{type="warning"}
You must switch to Production only once your integration has been fully tested and verified in the Sandbox environment.
