Tonder provides two distinct environments for integration: Staging for development and testing, and Production for live transactions. You will have separate API keys for each environment.
Always use your Test API Keys with the Staging URLs and your Production API Keys with the Production URLs.
During development and testing, use the Staging environment to safely test your integration without processing real payments. Log in to the Staging Dashboard to retrieve your test API keys and configure your settings. Point your application to the staging API base URL (https://api-stage.tonder.io) and use test card numbers to simulate payment scenarios. Once your integration is complete and tested, switch to the Production environment for live transactions. Access the Production Dashboard to get your production API keys, and update your application to use the production API base URL (https://api.tonder.io). Never use production keys in staging, or test keys in production, as this can lead to configuration issues and failed transactions.
