Features
--------

[](#features)

### 🔐 Idempotency

[](#-idempotency)

Protect against duplicate charges by providing an `idempotencyKey` in the options array.

### 🔄 Environment Detection

[](#-environment-detection)

The SDK automatically switches between `sandbox` and `live` environments based on your API key prefix (`sk_test_` vs `sk_live_`).

### 📊 Balance Check

[](#-balance-check)

Check your available and pending balances for your current environment.

```
$balance = $malipo->balance->retrieve();
print_r($balance['available']);
```

--------

[](#webhooks)

```
use Malipo\Malipo;

$malipo = new Malipo('...');

$payload = file_get_contents('php://input');
$signature = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_WEBHOOK_SIGNATURE'];
$secret = 'whsec_your_secret';

try {
    $event = $malipo->webhooks->constructEvent($payload, $signature, $secret);

    if ($event['type'] === 'charge.succeeded') {
        $charge = $event['data']['object'];
