Prove the checkout flow before real funds move.
Use testnet to validate payment sessions, buyer checkout, public status, webhook delivery, and reconciliation records before mainnet activation.
Create session
Call POST /api/v1/payments with a small amount and test metadata.
Open checkout
Use the returned payment_url and complete the wallet-side testnet flow.
Read status
Call GET /api/v1/payments/{id}/status and store the status plus transaction hash.
Receive webhook
Verify the signature and update your order only after a trusted event.
Review records
Compare session ID, order ID, amount, network, token, and fee records before mainnet review.
Definition of done
Your integration is ready for review when a developer can create a session, open checkout, confirm status, verify a signed webhook, and reconcile the merchant order ID without manual support.
