Live is our production environment. All orders that get created through the live API (i.e api.prodigi.com) will be charged and routed through to labs as you’d expect.
Sandbox (i.e api.sandbox.prodigi.com) does not charge and does not fulfil any orders. Its primary purpose is for merchants to come and try out the API in a semi-real way without risk of being charged or accidentally ordering something.
We keep the sandbox environment as up-to-date as our live environment, so you’ll always see the newest features on both.
