Getting Started

Environments

Redpin provides separate environments for development and production use, each designed for different stages of your integration lifecycle.

Sandbox Environment

Purpose: Development, testing, and integration validation

Base URL: https://sandbox.redpincompany.com

  • Simulated payment flows without real money transfers
  • Full API functionality for testing
  • Webhook testing capabilities
  • No regulatory compliance requirements
  • Test data automatically cleared periodically
Production Environment

Purpose: Live payment processing with real transactions

Base URL: https://api.redpincompany.com

  • Real money transfers and currency conversions
  • Full regulatory compliance required
  • Enhanced security monitoring
  • Business-critical SLA guarantees
  • Complete audit trails

Never use production credentials in development environments. Always maintain strict separation between sandbox and production configurations.

Key differences

  • Transactions: Simulated payments
  • Data: Temporary, may be reset
  • Credentials: Sandbox client ID/secret
  • Support: Self-service documentation
  • Access: Available immediately

Credential management

Quick setup for development:

  1. Contact Partner Integrations Team
  2. Provide basic partner information
  3. Receive credentials within 24 hours

Requirements for live deployment:

  1. Complete sandbox integration testing
  2. Submit production access request
  3. Pass security and compliance review
  4. Execute business agreements

Best practices

Security
  • Store credentials in environment variables
  • Never commit secrets to code repositories
  • Use different credentials for each environment
  • Implement credential rotation procedures
Testing
  • Test complete payment workflows in sandbox
  • Validate all API endpoints and error scenarios
  • Verify webhook delivery and signatures
  • Simulate edge cases and failures
Deployment
  • Separate deployment pipelines
  • Independent monitoring systems
  • Isolated webhook endpoints
  • Environment-specific configurations
