Changing channel mode

Changing Channel Modes: Trial, Sandbox, Live

In our service, a channel can operate in one of three modes: Trial, Sandbox, and Live.

Trial and Sandbox Modes Both Trial and Sandbox modes come with identical limits: 150 messages per day, 5 chats per month, and 1,000 API requests per month. New partner channels are initially created in Trial mode, offering 5 days of free access to our gateway. This period is cost-free for partners, eliminating financial risks and thereby increasing the likelihood of their users purchasing the service.

If you subscribe to channels yourself, there is no need to change the channel mode as it will be done automatically.

Transitioning from Trial to Live To convert a channel from Trial to Live mode, a specific API call is required. This transition is an essential step in activating the full capabilities of the channel for your client, removing the initial limitations. After the mode is changed, the channel restarts, so it is recommended to avoid performing any other actions with it for approximately 30 seconds to prevent incorrect operation.
