Environments

MoneyHash presents you with distinct environments for ensuring your integration is safe. Those are our Test Mode and the Live Mode.

Test Mode

Designed to provide a risk-free environment for you to familiarize yourself with our solution. It doesn't establish real connections with any payment provider. You can experiment with various scenarios provided by MoneyHash using our Sandbox feature, as well as create your own scenarios.

Live Mode

In Live Mode, you have two options: using a provider's sandbox environment for testing or conducting real transactions with actual payment data, resulting in real financial transactions and cash movement within the system.

Provider's test environment

As mentioned, some providers provide sandbox solutions to test their application before you perform real operations. To access the provider's test environment, you need to have a provider's registered account and use MoneyHash Live Mode. In addition, we recommend you finish the integration with MoneyHash before starting the integration of providers and usage of their sandbox solution.

You will use the provider's test environment to ensure your integration with the provider is correct and safe and that the operations behave as expected. From MoneyHash's perspective, this is a true connection, and we operate as we would in a real transaction. The fake data of operations using the provider's sandbox will be only on the provider's side.

Live Payment Integration

After experimenting with MoneyHash's Test Mode and trying out your selected provider's sandbox environment in Live Mode, you will be ready to execute your business's real transactions with genuine connections and information. This will have a tangible impact on financial exchanges.

Set Up your Environment

Before you dive into testing, ensuring you're set up correctly within the MoneyHash sandbox is crucial. This step will guide you through the necessary actions.

Obtain Your API Keys

To retrieve your API key, you can access the dashboard or directly request it via the API using the Get account details endpoint.

When you retrieve the API key, you'll encounter two distinct options:

Test API Key

The test mode key is specifically created for comprehensive testing in the MoneyHash test environment. It enables you to perform simulations, which can help you experiment without engaging any real providers. By using the test mode key, you can explore many scenarios and interactions, and perfect your application's functionality.

Live API Key

The live mode key serves a dual role, applicable to Provider's live and test environments. This key is instrumental for integrating your application with providers, ensuring communication in both settings. It's the key you'll implement within your application to perform transactions, interactions, and testing across providers' live and test environments.

If you're in the exploratory phase, you can use the test key already available in our Sandbox feature. It's preconfigured with various scenarios.
