Tips for Integrating

Before you set up your production account, we will need to review your integration.

What we look for when reviewing your Sandbox integration?

📘

We check for two things

1. that the flow of funds is implemented correctly, and
2. for idempotency in your API calls.

When we're done reviewing your integration to Gig Wage, we will provide you access to production API keys in your production Gig Wage account.

Making Idempotent Requests

All POST requests on the payments endpoint require a nonce which is a string that verifies the uniqueness of each request. An idempotency nonce value is a unique value generated by your client that is used to identify retries of the same request.

Adding Test Contractor or Business Accounts

In the Sandbox environments, you may want to add test accounts to better test your flow of funds from a business to a contractor.

For all test accounts

1. Use a valid US postal address.
2. Social Security and EINs need to end with 2222.
3. Use test debit card accounts.
