# Authentication

All authenticated requests require the credentials and headers issued for your partner account. Keep staging and production credentials separate.

Before sending live traffic:

1. Confirm your base URL.
2. Confirm your API credentials.
3. Confirm your webhook endpoint is reachable and verified.
4. Confirm your system can handle retries and out-of-order delivery safely.

## Environments

Unigox provides two environments:

* Staging: `https://api-staging.unigox.com`
* Production: `https://api.unigox.com`

Use staging for integration testing and production only after your configuration, webhook handling, and operational processes are verified.
