Beta domains for Nutrient Web SDK
A beta domain, also called a development domain, lets you run Nutrient Web SDK in a non-production environment such as development, testing, staging, or QA. Request it in the Nutrient Portal to receive a license key for that domain. Beta domains are for development and testing, not for production.
Naming your beta domain
Make your beta domain clearly identifiable as a non-production environment. Include a recognizable development indicator in the domain, for example:
app.example.devstaging.example.comuat.example.comdemo.example.comapp.testing.example.com
Indicators such as staging, preprod, .dev, .uat, .demo, and .testing all read as development and are suitable.
A beta domain that resembles a production domain doesn’t take the quick path. It goes through a longer, manual review and risks being declined. If the domain you submit looks like a live site, add a development indicator so it reads as a beta domain.
Enter the domain on its own: no protocol (leave off http:// and https://), no wildcard (*), and no path such as example.com/app.
Requesting a beta domain in the Nutrient Portal
- Log in to the Nutrient Portal(opens in a new tab).
- In your Web SDK license row, click Request Beta/Development License Key.
- In the Request Beta/Development License Key dialog:
- In Beta/Dev Domain, enter your beta domain — for example,
staging.example.comorapp.example.dev. - In Request Reason, enter a short reason — for example, testing, QA, or staging.
- Click Continue.
- In Beta/Dev Domain, enter your beta domain — for example,
- Review the details and submit the request.
After you submit, an approved beta domain appears in your Nutrient Portal, ready to use. If a request isn’t approved as submitted, or if more details are needed, Nutrient will follow up.
Requesting a production-looking domain
A development-style domain is the quick path and the recommended one. A domain that resembles production isn’t approved on that basis alone. It goes through a longer, manual review: a person checks the request, you provide a rationale in the Request Reason field or through your Customer Success representative, and Nutrient follows up with questions when something isn’t clear before reaching a decision. For a swift turnaround, use a development-style domain.
