# Environments

> Base URLs for the Zennopay Partner API across production and sandbox.

Zennopay exposes two partner-facing environments. Both speak the same API; they
differ only in which keys, FBO accounts, and payout-provider rails they point
at.

## Base URLs

| Environment    | Base URL                           | Use it for                                                                                             |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Production** | `https://api.zennopay.com`         | Live partner traffic. Real money. Production HMAC keys.                                                |
| **Sandbox**    | `https://api.sandbox.zennopay.com` | Integration, QA, and demos. Sandbox HMAC keys only — production keys are rejected by the sandbox host. |

<Note>
  All endpoints are mounted under `/v1`. Example:
  `https://api.zennopay.com/v1/payment_intents`.
</Note>

## Picking the right one

* During integration, point every example in this documentation at the
  **sandbox** base URL. Code snippets default to the production URL for
  copy-paste readiness in your final integration — swap the host while you're
  building.
* Sandbox issues a separate `X-Zennopay-Key-Id` (e.g. `wizz_sandbox_2026q2`)
  and a separate signing secret from production. Never cross the streams.
* The OpenAPI [playground](/api-reference/playground) is hard-wired to the
  sandbox host.

## Checkout and dashboard hosts

These are shared across environments — the API host you call determines which
backend the flow lands on.

| Surface                             | URL                              |
| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Hosted checkout (mobile SDK target) | `https://checkout.zennopay.com`  |
| Partner dashboard                   | `https://dashboard.zennopay.com` |

## What about staging?

Zennopay also runs an internal **staging** environment for pre-production
verification of our own deploys. It is not exposed to partners and has no
public hostname. Partners test against **sandbox**.

## Promotion path

```text theme={null}
your code  --->  api.sandbox.zennopay.com  --(graduation review)-->  api.zennopay.com
```

Graduation from sandbox to production is gated on:

1. A signed partner agreement and operational runbook on file.
2. A pre-funded USD float at the Zennopay FBO account.
3. KYC / sanctions attestation flow verified end-to-end in sandbox.
