environments:
- name: Sandbox
  host: https://api.sandbox.eu.ppro.com
  mcp: https://mcp.sandbox.eu.ppro.com
  purpose: Test integration. No funds are transferred.
  credentials: Provided when the sandbox account is created.
  key_prefix_example: key_sandbox_
  rate_limit: 5 reads/second and 5 writes/second (reduced from the live 50/50)
- name: Live
  host: https://api.eu.ppro.com
  mcp: https://mcp.eu.ppro.com
  purpose: Production.
  credentials: Provided when integration is complete.
key_separation: true
key_separation_note: Sandbox credentials only work in the sandbox environment; live credentials only against the live host.
test_cards:
  mechanism: >-
    Any card number or network token may be used in sandbox. The outcome is determined by the LAST TWO DIGITS
    of the card number. Card brand and BIN range have no effect on the sandbox response, and the same logic
    applies to network token numbers. Valid in any country.

  caveats:
  - Some countries require a valid, correctly calculated taxIdentification for sandbox requests; the requirement is documented per payment method.
local_payment_method_testing:
  mechanism: >-
    Where available, PPRO routes sandbox traffic to the LPM's own sandbox, giving a complete end-to-end
    consumer experience. Per-method testing instructions live in the "Sandbox testing" section of each
    payment method page.

mock_authenticator:
  present: true
  docs: https://developerhub.ppro.com/global-api/docs/mock-authenticator
  note: PPRO publishes a mock authenticator for exercising the consumer-authentication step of the payment flows.
time_simulation:
  present: false
  note: No test clocks or time-travel fixtures are published.

no_fabrication_note: >-
  Every trigger value above is published verbatim by PPRO. No test card number, key or token has been invented
  — PPRO deliberately publishes a RULE (last two digits) rather than a card list, and that rule is recorded as
  the rule it is.
