# Environments

> Staging and production are fully isolated.

SaturnShift has two isolated environments. Build and test against **staging**,
then switch to **production**. Everything in these docs is identical across the
two, you only swap the base URL and use the matching credentials.

|               | Staging                                     | Production                                  |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| API base URL  | `https://api.staging.saturnshift.io`        | `https://api.saturnshift.io`                |
| Dashboard     | `https://app.staging.saturnshift.io`        | `https://app.saturnshift.io`                |
| Credentials   | `ss_client_test_...` / `ss_secret_test_...` | `ss_client_live_...` / `ss_secret_live_...` |
| Merchant keys | `pk_test_...`                               | `pk_live_...`                               |

Credentials, merchants, transactions, and webhook endpoints are **separate** in
each environment. Generate your credentials from the Developers page in that
environment's dashboard, and send requests to the matching base URL.

<Note>
  A staging token only works against the staging API, and a live token only
  against production. The `test` / `live` prefix on your credentials tells you
  which environment they belong to.
