Migrate to unique API base URLs

If you currently use the following base URLs for your calls to Checkout.com's APIs, you must migrate to your unique base URLs, which provide enhanced performance and greater stability.

  • Sandbox

    • https://api.sandbox.checkout.com

    • https://access.sandbox.checkout.com

    • https://balances.sandbox.checkout.com

    • https://files.sandbox.checkout.com

    • https://forward.sandbox.checkout.com

    • https://identity-verification.sandbox.checkout.com

    • https://transfers.sandbox.checkout.com

  • Production

    • https://api.checkout.com

    • https://access.checkout.com

    • https://balances.checkout.com

    • https://files.checkout.com

    • https://forward.checkout.com

    • https://identity-verification.checkout.com

    • https://transfers.checkout.com

Your unique base URLs 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.

To find your unique base URL:

  1. Sign in to the Dashboard environment you want to retrieve the base URL for:
  1. Go to Developers > Overview.

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

  1. Alternatively, go to Settings > Account details.

Your unique base URL is displayed under Connection settings.
