Getting started
Environments
Two parallel worlds with identical shapes and separate everything.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sandbox | env | https://api.sandbox.globbapay.com/v1 — test details, simulated bank events, instant settlement. Open before verification. |
| production | env | https://api.globbapay.com/v1 — real issuance and real money. Unlocks after business verification, and MFA is enforced on the dashboard. |
Sandbox mirrors production shape-for-shape: same endpoints, same webhook signatures, same error codes. Credentials, webhook endpoints, customers, and balances are entirely separate — a sandbox action can never touch production state.
The one intentional difference: sandbox settles fast. Payouts move from processing to a final state within seconds so you can test the full lifecycle, including failures.
