Orqex has two isolated environments. Which one a request hits is determined by the API key you authenticate with, not by the URL: the base URL is the same for both.

​
Isolation

Each environment is fully isolated. Gateway accounts, routing rules, customers, payment intents and API keys created in sandbox never appear in live, and vice versa. A payment created with a sandbox key can only be acted on with a sandbox key.
Keep your keys environment-specific in configuration (e.g. separate .env values per environment). Using a live key in a test path — or the reverse — is the most common integration mistake.
1

Integrate in sandbox

Configure sandbox gateway accounts and build the full flow against test credentials.
2

Test the edge cases

Exercise success, decline, action-required and timeout paths before going live.
3

Switch to live

Swap the secret key for the live one. No code or URL change is required.

​
With the PHP SDK

Nothing special: pass the key for the environment you target. 
use Orqex\Orchestrate\OrchestrateClient;

$sandbox = new OrchestrateClient(config('services.orqex.sandbox_key'));
$live    = new OrchestrateClient(config('services.orqex.live_key'));
