Development Process

Kachingle offers a sandbox for development and testing of your integration before creating a live Medallion for integration with the production server.

Important: Once you've developed and tested your code in the sandbox, you will need to request a separate App ID for production, and make sure you use this new App ID in your live code.

It is highly recommended you make the App ID a configuration variable in your Javascript and PHP code so the transition happens smoothly.

Getting Started With The Sandbox

1. Create an account at sandbox.kachingle.net
2. Create a Medallion within that account from the My Kachingle > My Medallions page
   • In the creation page, you will find your Medallion/App ID in the URL (id=), and your App Secret at the top of the right column
   • You can get back to this page any time by clicking the "Manage" button in My Kachingle > My Medallions
3. Contact Kachingle to let us know you've created a Medallion, and to have your App added to a Bundle or two in the sandbox
• We'll reply with Bundle IDs and other details
4. Download the API
5. Start coding and testing using the sandbox:
   1. Enable your front end with the Kachingle Medallion
   2. Integrate your backend with Kachingle

Moving to Production

Once you're ready to move to production:

1. Create an account at www.kachingle.com
2. Request a Medallion (in the production environment the My Medallions tab only appears once you have a Medallion)
3. Modify your API calls and configurations on the production version of your App to use the new App ID
