Base URLs

To make the API as explorable as possible, live accounts have live mode API keys and test accounts have test mode API keys. The base URLs for the LotusPay API are:

Live

• API keys begin with sk_live

• Dashboard and authorization links begin with: https://app.lotuspay.com/

Test

• API keys begin with sk_test

• Dashboard and authorization links begin with https://test.lotuspay.com/

You may wish to whitelist these URLs in your network firewall.

These URLs resolve to application load balancers, which do not have static IP addresses. However, outbound traffic does come from static IP addresses. See the Webhooks section for more details.

There is no "switch" for changing between modes, just use the appropriate key and URL to perform a live or test transaction. Requests made with test mode credentials never hit the banking networks and incur no cost.

Your live key is available in your live account after your account has been activated. You can request your test API key by email us to support@lotuspay.com .

You can also send the request in x-www-form-urlencoded or raw json format.
