Testing with a sandbox key

Your sandbox api_key / hmac_secret let you rehearse the whole flow without paying anyone:
  • Sandbox orders run through confirm / partial / cancel exactly like real ones and return normal 200 responses — but they never create a payable order and never enter the payout clock.
  • Check: send a sandbox confirm, verify you get "status":"CONFIRMED" with the right net_amount, and confirm with us that no payable order was created.
  • When you’re happy, switch to your live key. A sandbox key can never create a real payment, and a live key can never be turned into a test — the mode is fixed on the credential.
Always start with the sandbox key. Once your first CONFIRMED response looks right, request the live key.

After a sale: how payout works

order paid  →  commission pending
                     │
        delivered + 15 days (no dispute)   ── or ──   order paid + 30 days
                     │
                     ▼
   purchase confirmed  →  commission payable  →  paid to creator
Commission accrues as pending when you report an order paid, and becomes payable at purchase confirmation — the buyer confirming the order, or the automatic timers above. A partial refund reduces the commission; a full cancel reverses it. You’re invoiced only for orders that reach purchase confirmation — postpaid, and paid only when the sale is real.

Checking our numbers

You never have to take our count on trust. Every order we bill traces straight back to your own systems:
  • The sale came from you. We can only count orders your server reported, keyed by your merchant_order_id. Your order table is the ceiling on what we can bill.
  • Each order shows its evidence. In your dashboard and in the export, every order carries: merchant_order_id (match to your DB), the publisher who earned it, click_at (when the winning click happened), and sub_id (your own tracking ref, if you sent it). Check any order against your own analytics — was there really a creator click, and was it the last marketing click? If your data says your own paid channel won, decline it.
  • Pull the raw feed anytime: 
    GET /api/v1/direct/conversions/export?from=2026-06-01&to=2026-06-30
→ CSV: order, status, net, commission, publisher, click_at, sub_id, product, timestamps
    Signed in as yourself, scoped to your data. Reconcile on any cadence you like.
  • Nothing is billed until you validate. Orders accrue as pending; you approve at purchase confirmation and we invoice only those. Anything you dispute later is clawed back.
