Overview

When you are ready to move from the sandbox environment to production, make sure you use the correct base URL and the correct authentication token. These are the only parameters that differ between sandbox and production.
We recommend storing those parameters in your environment-specific configuration.
If you use IP whitelisting, ensure that our IP addresses are whitelisted so we can deliver callbacks to you.

Go-live testing

We recommend implementing a feature flag for your integration with PawaPay to enable go-live testing in production, before market launch. This allows you to test the end-to-end flow in production to uncover any environment-specific problems before they impact customers. To test live payments, you will need the following for each MMO that you use:
  • A phone and phone number with the specific MMO.
  • An active mobile money wallet on that phone number.
  • An available balance on the mobile money wallet to conduct the tests with.
  • Be ready to enter the PIN code on the phone approximately 1-20 seconds from initiating the payment through our API.
