Environment

tiun has two environments: production and sandbox.

Production

Production is the default. Real customers, real payments, real data. When you initialize the SDK without any extra flags, you are in production mode.

Sandbox

Sandbox is an isolated test environment that mirrors production but with simulated payments. Products, users, and transactions in sandbox are completely separate from production — nothing crosses over.

Use sandbox while building and testing your integration. Checkout flows work the same way, events fire the same way, and access control behaves the same way — but no real money moves and no real customers are affected.

When you are ready to go live, you switch to production. The integration code stays the same; only the environment changes.
