QDI

Overview

The QDI (Quick and Dirty Interface) is a lightweight testing tool that allows developers to experiment with PaidYET’s core API functionality without creating a full sandbox account.

It is designed to provide immediate exposure to how our requests and responses are structured.

👉 Access the QDI here: https://qdi.paidyet.com/

Why Use the QDI?

The QDI provides a frictionless way to:

Explore our API structure
Test core request formatting
View realistic response payloads
Receive subtle validation feedback when calls are misconfigured

It is ideal for early-stage evaluation or quick experimentation before committing to a full integration.

What the QDI Includes

✅ Core API functionality

✅ Realistic request/response objects

✅ Production-like payload structures

✅ Basic validation feedback

The objects and responses returned by the QDI closely mirror those from our sandbox and production environments.

What the QDI Does Not Include

⚠️ Not all API endpoints are available

⚠️ No full merchant configuration

⚠️ No advanced workflow testing

⚠️ No webhook simulation

The QDI is intentionally limited in scope. It is meant for introduction and exploration, not full integration testing.

QDI vs Sandbox

Use the QDI if:

You are evaluating PaidYET
You want to understand request/response structure
You need quick, low-friction testing
You are experimenting before building

Use a Sandbox Account if:

You are completing a full integration
You need webhook testing
You require full endpoint access
You are validating edge cases or complex workflows

Moving to Sandbox

When you're ready to move beyond exploratory testing, the next step is setting up a full sandbox account.

A sandbox account provides:
Full API endpoint access
Webhook configuration and testing
Merchant-level settings
Complete workflow validation
Credentialed authentication

Sandbox access allows you to build and test your integration in an environment that mirrors production behavior more comprehensively than the QDI.

For more information on Sandbox, please visit our Sandbox documentation.

Moving to Full Integration

Once your sandbox integration is fully tested and validated, you can request production credentials.

Production access allows you to:

Process live transactions
Connect to live merchant accounts
Enable real-world payment workflows

When you're ready for production credentials, reach out to either your sales rep or [email protected]. We’ll guide you through final setup and go-live readiness.
