What is difference between the Sandbox API Endpoint: https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api

And Production API Endpoint: https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api?

Can be use Sandbox API Endpoint in our system to make payment?

@nitishkumar95 Sandbox environments are used for testing your software. Production environments are used for using your software when you are ready to "go live" after testing is complete.

You can simulate payments in Sandbox, but no actual payment will occur.

If you need to process live payments, use the Production API Endpoint. But if you haven't finished testing your solution, use the Sandbox API Endpoint first, to make sure your solution works well.

Does that help?
