Environments and API Keys

You'll complete the initial storefront setup and download your API keys through the developer dashboard. At this time, we do not offer storefront setup/configuration via API.

Sandbox and production mode

Storefronts can either be in sandbox or production mode. Transactions in sandbox storefronts do not result in money movement, meaning no payment methods are processed, and no money moves into your bank account. Sandbox storefronts allow you to test your integration and storefront aesthetics before going live.

Developers will usually align their development environment with a sandbox storefront, and align their production environment with a production storefront. This is easily accomplished by using your sandbox keys in your development environment such that your development endpoints are called, and doing the same with your production keys.

Working with API keys

Each storefront instance you set up in the dashboard will have a set of API keys that you'll use to access our APIs. The API keys are tied to that particular storefront instance, and can only be used to modify data associated with that storefront.

You can use the dashboard to create and manage your API keys. Once an API key is created, it'll be shown to you once; once it's generated, copy it down and store it securely. Once you exit the creation window, the full API key will never be shown again; afterwards, we'll only refer to keys by their first few characters. If you lose your key, you can revoke it and issue a new one via the dashboard.
