Environments

The PayData API is available in two environments: Sandbox and Production. Both expose the same API surface — the same endpoints, request and response shapes — only the base URL and your access token differ.

Sandbox​

https://sandbox.paydata-api.com/partner/v2

All examples in this documentation use the sandbox environment. It is intended for experimenting with the API and developing your integration, and is completely separate from production: it requires its own partner access token, and a production token is not valid here (or vice versa).

See Sandbox for what's available there (dummy account types, PSP sandboxes) and what to expect from it day to day, including its lower rate limits.

Production​

https://api.paydata-api.com/partner/v2

The production environment connects to your real PSP accounts and processes real transaction data. Use it once your integration has been tested against the sandbox.

  • Requires its own partner access token, separate from your sandbox token.
  • Contact PayData support to obtain your production partner token.

Switching an integration from sandbox to production​

Beyond swapping the base URL and access token, no other request changes are needed — the same account types, fields, and endpoints apply. Make sure your integration does not hard-code the sandbox host, and that any account types or PSP configurations you rely on are also enabled for your partner in production (contact PayData support if you are unsure).
