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.com -
https://[prefix].access.sandbox.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].balances.sandbox.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].files.sandbox.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].forward.sandbox.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].identity-verification.sandbox.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].transfers.sandbox.checkout.com
-
-
Production
-
https://[prefix].api.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].access.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].balances.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].files.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].forward.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].identity-verification.checkout.com -
https://[prefix].transfers.checkout.com
-
The [prefix] value in each base URL is a string containing the first eight characters of each of your environments' unique client_id, excluding the cli_ prefix.

Your unique base URL is displayed on the Developer overview page. For example, https://vkuhvk4v.api.checkout.com.
