Use sandbox first:

Identity: https://sandbox-identity.paywise.co
API: https://sandbox-api.paywise.co
Sandbox Dashboard (Checkout Builder): https://sandbox-dashboard.paywise.co/studio/checkout/payload-builder
Production go-live checklist: https://docs.paywise.co/getting-started/go-live-checklist
Sandbox account setup (portal accounts vs api_key vs Account API approvals): /getting-started/sandbox-account-setup

curl -X GET "https://sandbox-api.paywise.co/health?version=2024-10-01" \
  -H "PW-subscription-key: YOUR_SANDBOX_KEY" \
  -H "PW-Origin-Country: US" \
  -H "PW-Request-Date: 2026-02-11T00:00:00Z" \
  -H "PW-IP-Address: 127.0.0.1" \
  -H "User-Agent: paywise-docs-quickstart/1.0"

If this succeeds, move to your first Account or Payments endpoint in the API Reference.

Payments API checkout does not require direct Account API access. Account API (/account/*) is restricted and requires PayWise approval.

If you are new to payments, the fastest way to send a first sandbox payment is the guided Checkout Builder.

When you are ready to accept live payments, follow the production go-live checklist before switching base URLs and keys.
