Developer tips

1. Use Sandbox
2. Start small
3. Go further

Open a free account in our Sandbox environment. Write, test, and verify your code before you move to production.

Test domain registration and issuing SSL certificates at no charge. Domains registered in Sandbox do not resolve, and SSL certificates should not be installed in any production environment.

Use our testing credit card to select a plan that matches the features that you'd like to test.

Follow this guide to obtain your token for your API calls.
