4. Generate an API Token

The API token is required to authenticate requests made from your backend to Novasend APIs.

Environments (Sandbox vs Production)

You can switch between Sandbox (Test) and Production (Live) environments. Each environment is strictly isolated:

API Keys, Webhooks, Transactions, and Reports are distinct for each environment.
Nothing is transferred from one environment to another.
This allows you to develop and test safely in Sandbox before moving to Production.

Environment

Important Note: Even in Sandbox, all financial operations are real. Payments, transfers, and deposits made in Sandbox use real money. There are no fake transactions.
