Environments

Orvion supports multiple environments for development, testing, and production use.

Available Environments

Sandbox

The sandbox environment is for:

• Development: Build and test your integration
• Testing: Test payment flows without real money
• Learning: Explore features without risk

Sandbox features:

• Test data: Use test invoices and payments
• No real money: All transactions are simulated
• Full API access: All API endpoints are available
• Separate data: Data is isolated from production

Production

The production environment is for:

• Live applications: Real payments and invoices
• Customer transactions: Actual money transfers
• Business operations: Day-to-day operations

Production features:

• Real money: All transactions are real
• Customer data: Real customer information
• Full compliance: Meets regulatory requirements
• High availability: Production-grade infrastructure

Switching Environments

API Base URLs

• Sandbox: http://localhost:8000/api/v1 (or your sandbox URL)
• Production: https://api.orvion.xyz/api/v1 (or your production URL)

API Keys

Each environment has separate API keys:

• Sandbox keys: Only work in sandbox
• Production keys: Only work in production
• Key isolation: Keys cannot be used across environments

Organizations

Organizations are separate per environment:

• Sandbox orgs: Only exist in sandbox
• Production orgs: Only exist in production
• No data sharing: Data is not shared between environments

Best Practices

1. Develop in sandbox: Build and test in sandbox first
2. Test thoroughly: Test all flows before going to production
3. Use separate keys: Never use production keys in sandbox
4. Monitor production: Monitor production for issues
