Sandbox and staging

Use staging to test. Live charges real wallets and cards.

Hosts

	Portal	Gateway	Checkout
Staging	pay.sifalo.net	`https://spay-api.sifalo.net/gateway/`	`https://pay.sifalo.net/checkout/`
Live	pay.sifalo.com	`https://api.sifalopay.com/gateway/`	`https://pay.sifalo.com/checkout/`

Sign up at https://pay.sifalo.net/auth/signup
Create API keys
Call https://spay-api.sifalo.net/gateway/ with the same JSON you will use in live

For hosted checkout, get key + token from the staging gateway, then open:

https://pay.sifalo.net/checkout/?key=YOUR_KEY&token=YOUR_TOKEN

⚠️
Staging keys and live keys are not interchangeable. Staging only works on .net. Live only works on .com.

Test wallets

Scenario	`code`	eDahab	Premier Wallet	Waafi
Success	`601`	`252621111111` or `621111111`	`00252621111111`	`252631111111` or `631111111`
Failed	`600`	`252622222222`	`00252622222222`	`252632222222` or `632222222`
Pending	`603`	`252651111111`	`00252651111111`	`252633333333` or `633333333`
Insufficient	`604`	`252652222222`	`00252652222222`	`252634444444` or `634444444`

eDahab accepts 62… or 25262…. Waafi accepts 61… or 63… (or 25261… / 25263…) — same scenario endings work for both prefixes (e.g. success 252611111111 or 611111111). Premier sandbox ids start with 00. Any other eDahab, Premier, or Waafi number fails (600). EVC, ZAAD, and SAHAL use "gateway": "waafi". Premier Wallet is USD only.

Staging Waafi uses Sifalo’s local mock (not an external Waafi sandbox). Verify returns status: success, pending, or failed (never failure).

curl -X POST "https://spay-api.sifalo.net/gateway/" \
  -u "$SIFALO_API_USER:$SIFALO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "account": "252621111111",
    "gateway": "edahab",
    "amount": "1",
    "currency": "USD",
    "order_id": "SBX-1"
  }'

You should get code 601. Save sid.

Test cards

Use these on hosted checkout at pay.sifalo.net only. Not on live, and not a real card.

Visa	`4508750015741019`	`01/39`	`100`
