Development/Production State

There are two states for an application, the Development and Production states :

Development State

Production State

When you create a new app, it starts in the development state. 

In this state, you can develop your code, and test the application, having access to full functionality, but with a mock-up dataset.  This dataset is dedicated to each application. Therefore, if you have more than one application, your tests won't affect each other. Furthermore, with this dataset, you can execute transactions, without the fear of making a mistake. In this mock-up dataset, customers and their products are predefined.

When the development phase is completed, you can request an upgrade of your application from development to production. 

Upgrade to Production

For non-PSD2 (PB) APIs, a representative from the bank will contact you, in order to arrange the required paperwork.  When approved, your application will be live.  From then on, all calls will have access to live data of actual winbank users.

For PSD2 APIs, upgrade to Production does not require any formal paperwork. TPPs must be registered AIS and/or PIS providers and send us their QWAC certificate. Upon certificate validation, their applications will be upgraded to Production.
