- Stage for development and testing
- Production for processing live transactions.
It is crucial to use the correct base URL and API keys for each environment. Using production keys in the stage environment or vice-versa will result in authentication errors.
Base URLs
The base URL is the root for all API requests. Append the specific endpoint paths (e.g., Process Transaction) to the appropriate base URL.| Environment | Base URL | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Stage | https://stage.tonder.io/api/v1/ | For all development and testing. |
| Production | https://app.tonder.io/api/v1/ | For processing live transactions. |
POST https://stage.tonder.io/api/v1/process/
The same request in the Production environment would use the following URL:
POST https://app.tonder.io/api/v1/process/
API Credentials
Each environment uses a separate set of API credentials (API Key and Secret Key).- Stage Credentials: Use these for all your testing in the sandbox. They can be found in the developer section of the Tonder Staging Dashboard.
- Production Credentials: Use these only for live transactions. They are available in the developer section of the Tonder Production Dashboard.
Never use your production API keys in your testing environment or expose them in client-side code. Store them securely on your server.
Next Steps
- Check out authentication methods to secure your API requests.
- Follow the create a payment guide to make your first transaction.
- Use testing data to simulate different payment scenarios.
