# Sandbox vs. Production

What are the differences between the sandbox and live environments.

## Overview

When you sign up to the Bond platform and obtain authorization keys, you are immediately granted access to either the sandbox or production environments. The keys issued to you are specific to one of the environments.

{
  "type": "info",
  "title": "Note",
  "body": "Requests made to the sandbox do not move any real money."
}
[/block]

Use the sandbox for testing your implementation. When you're happy with the results, simply change the URL used and use your production keys for production access.

\##URLs

The following table shows the URLs used by our sandbox and live production environments.
