Test Environment and Endpoints

  • Paysafe provides access to test environment for integration of new business partners. Every new business partner needs to integrate the payment platform first on the test system. Once the integration on your system is finished a UAT(User Acceptance Test) needs to be done in order to ensure a seemless integration flow.

  • Once the integration is accepted in the Service Center, the business partner can be moved to the productive system which, for the business partner, consists of the following steps:

    • Update to productive credentials;

    • Exchange of the Service Endpoint URL;

    • Whitelist of server IPs

      All data is provided by the Merchant Service Center.

  • The endpoint for the test environment is: https://apitest.paysafecard.com/v1/
