RamboCard Merchant Risk Review for API Access: Sandbox First, Production Later
Explain how RamboCard can review API merchants while still allowing early sandbox integration.
API overview
RamboCard can be commercially flexible without allowing unfunded production card issuing.
RamboCard explains wallet funding, card issuing, card top-ups, service fees, notifications and reconciliation in one product workflow.
Commercial flexibility
A merchant can receive documentation and sandbox access before deposit so the integration team can test authentication, webhooks and simulated card flows. This reduces onboarding friction.
Production control
Real issuing should remain blocked until backend policy confirms merchant identity, required guarantee, API reserve and production approval. The user interface should refresh status after submissions and funding events.
Documents
The core requirement is merchant identity evidence and a clear issuing website or use-case description. Additional documents should be requested only when risk or business policy requires them.
Admin review
The admin backend should show pending applications, documents, policy amount, special terms, approval buttons, rejection reasons and audit logs. Keys should be visible to the merchant, not exposed unnecessarily in admin banners.
Launch checklist
- Confirm the relevant RamboCard account, wallet, card, API merchant or transaction record before taking action.
- Keep RamboToken USDT wallet records, platform USD records, card balances and API merchant reserve records separate.
- Show fees, minimums, card program status and restrictions before the user confirms a financial operation.
- Send email notifications for material wallet movement, card charges, failed payments, low balance, refunds, chargebacks and card status changes where the platform receives the event.
- Use backend policy as the source of truth. Frontend pages should explain, display and refresh state, not create financial authority by themselves.
FAQ
Can sandbox be opened immediately?
Yes, if policy allows, because sandbox does not create real cards.
Can production be opened without deposit?
Not under the recommended model. Backend must enforce deposit and reserve requirements.
Who sees the production API key?
The approved merchant should see its own key in the merchant workspace. Admin should manage status and audit access carefully.
