As a Checkout.com merchant, you have access to unique base URLs for your calls to our APIs. This enables you to route traffic to your specific environment setup, and provides enhanced performance and greater stability.
Your unique base URLs for the sandbox and production environments use the following pattern:
-
Sandbox
https://{prefix}.api.sandbox.checkout.comhttps://{prefix}.access.sandbox.checkout.com
-
Production
https://{prefix}.api.checkout.comhttps://{prefix}.access.checkout.com
The {prefix} value in the base URL is a string containing the first eight characters of your unique client_id, excluding the cli_ prefix.
You can view your client ID in the Dashboard if you have the Account owner or Admin user role.
To find your client ID:
- Sign in to the Dashboard.
- Select the Settings icon in the top navigation bar and open the Account structure tab.
The client ID is displayed in the top right corner of the tab.
Your production and sandbox environments have different client_id values. If you are unsure of your client ID for either environment, contact your account manager or request support.
For example, if your client ID is cli_vkuhvk4vjn2edkps7dfsq6emqm, the base URL for your production environment is:
https://vkuhvk4v.api.checkout.com/{path}
