🧪Sandbox and production

Coindisco business accounts have separate sandbox and production environments.

Environment	Dashboard name	Key prefix	Transactions	Purpose
Sandbox	Sandbox	pk_test_	Simulated by the Coindisco sandbox flow	Integration development and testing
Production	Live	pk_prod_	Real	Customer traffic

The widget derives the API environment from its public key. A pk_test_ key uses sandbox; a pk_prod_ key uses live.

Environment isolation

Treat sandbox and production as separate configurations:

• do not use a sandbox key in production;

• configure origins and webhooks for the intended environment;

• do not reuse test transaction IDs in live requests;

• repeat the critical test cases after switching to production with a controlled rollout.

Provider-hosted test behavior varies. Use only test data explicitly documented by the provider and never assume that arbitrary real card data is safe in a test checkout.
