ZEBEDEE is pioneering ways to help others Make Money Move.

To further that effort, we’ve opened up our platform so that anyone can sign up for an account and begin building with us immediately.

To better support our growing developer community and continue to improve our services, we have introduced tiered pricing for our subscription plans based on API usage needs.

We worked hard to ensure a strong Free offering that allows you to build and scale your integrations before needing to pay a monthly fee.

Starting May 15th, 2023, for high volume accounts, we will begin charging a monthly subscription fee for access to the ZEBEDEE API, in addition to the current 1% transaction fee.

You can find more information on the pricing tiers in the image below, on the Billing page in the Dash, or the pricing page on our website.

Sandbox Mode allows you to test your integration without having to use real funds!

Any new Projects that you create on the Developer Dashboard will be equipped with both a Live and Sandbox Mode. Existing Projects will remain unchanged; you can continue to use your Live API key(s) and the endpoints listed on the API Reference  to Make Money Move.

Projects with Sandbox Mode have:

- A separate wallet to hold fake sats

- A unique API key to use on Sandbox API routes

- Test users, to whom you can send fake sats and view their wallet balance

Roadmap

Sandbox Mode Version 1.0 includes support for the 'Send to Gamertag' endpoint, wherein you can send fake sats to test users. Learn how below.

We will be continuously expanding Sandbox Mode functionality; for example, creating Sandbox Lightning Network Charges and Payments. Let us know what Sandbox features you’d like to see first here.

How to Use Sandbox

1. Create a new Project. By default, new Projects will open to Sandbox Mode, and your Sandbox Wallet will be funded automatically. Notice the the Live/Sandbox toggle in the upper right of the screen; use this to switch Projects between Live and Sandbox Mode.

2. Go to the API tab and find your Sandbox API key. Note: Sandbox keys are still protected by your IP Access Controls!

3. Go to the Test Users tab to find Sandbox user gamertags. You can monitor the Wallet Balance for these test users here. Note: Test users are shared across all of your Projects.

4. Test the Send to Gamertag endpoint

5. View the transaction on the Wallet Transaction History table, and view the Test User Wallet balances on the Test Users tab.

6. If you run out of fake sats to test with, you can add more funds to a Project through the Top Up button in Wallet Actions.

- Bitcoin logo added to Project Wallet Balance card

- Removed "in last 30 days" from Transaction Count card

- Changed two transaction type display names:

- Internal → Internal transfer

- Peer Payment → Payment

- Updated the validation schema for creating / editing Projects

- Added "- ZEBEDEE" to page titles in browser tabs

- Fixed spacing on the Create Project button

Check it out!

Many platforms built on ZEBEDEE allow users to withdraw funds from their games or applications to the ZBD App by sending sats to the ZBD Gamertag the user specifies.

Unfortunately, some users enter their entire ZBD Lightning Address, which causes the payment to fail as it is not the same as a ZBD Gamertag; for example, they specify `user@zbd.gg` instead of just `user`. This leads to user frustration with the game / application, and with ZBD.

To prevent this, we’ve updated the `v0/gamertag/send-payment` endpoint (Send Payment to ZBD Gamertag Endpoint) to accept ZBD Lightning Addresses (e.g. `{gamertag}@zbd.gg`) as well. Therefore, whether the user specifies their ZBD Gamertag or `{gamertag}@zbd.gg`, the payment will succeed and funds will be sent to the proper user.

We hope this will prevent future user confusion when withdrawing their rewards from your platform!
