Summary

Makes the merchant-specific subdomain (MSSD) mandatory. Callers must now call environmentSubdomain(...), or explicitly opt out with the new, already-@Deprecated useLegacyDomain(). Setting both, or neither, throws CheckoutArgumentException at client construction. MSSD is no longer beta and non-MSSD usage will be deprecated, so the previous silent fallback to api.checkout.com had to go.

Changes

  • AbstractCheckoutSdkBuilder — the subdomain is held as a String and the EnvironmentSubdomain is built when the configuration is assembled, so environmentSubdomain() no longer has to be called after environment(); new useLegacyDomain() marked @Deprecated; new validateEnvironmentSettings(); new requiresEnvironmentSubdomain()
  • EnvironmentSubdomaincreateUrlWithSubdomain throws on an invalid subdomain instead of returning the URL unchanged
  • CheckoutPreviousSdkBuilder — Previous/ABC exempted via requiresEnvironmentSubdomain()
  • gradle.properties — 7.15.0 to 8.0.0
  • CheckoutSdkBuilderTest — covers all four combinations (subdomain only, legacy only, both, neither), an invalid subdomain, and the Previous exemption
  • DefaultCheckoutConfigurationTest — the parameterised bad-subdomain case now asserts the throw instead of the silent fallback
  • TestDomainConfiguration (new) + SandboxTestFixture and seven integration fixtures — every client the suite builds now chooses a domain

Fixed along the way

environmentSubdomain() used to build the URLs from whatever environment was set at call time, so calling it before environment() silently produced the wrong host.

API Reference

Breaking changes

Yes, two.

  1. The merchant-specific subdomain is mandatory for the Default and DefaultOAuth platforms. Code that omitted it and relied on the implicit fallback to api.checkout.com / access.checkout.com now fails at client construction. Migration: set the subdomain, or use the legacy-domain opt-out as a temporary measure. The Previous (ABC) platform is unaffected.
  2. An invalid subdomain now fails instead of being silently ignored. Callers passing a malformed value keep working against the shared host today; after this change they fail fast. This one is easy to miss because it is not what the ticket asked for, so it needs its own line in the release notes.

README

Updated in this PR: a "Subdomain value" section above the Default example, the subdomain added to the configuration samples, and a "Legacy domain (emergency use only)" section at the bottom.

Notes

The suite routes every client it builds through a single helper that uses the shared hosts. Applying the merchant-specific subdomain there looked better, since it is the path merchants are being moved to, but the sandbox OAuth clients are not provisioned for it: .NET CI failed 224 integration tests with invalid_client when the token request went to {subdomain}.access.sandbox.checkout.com. Binding those OAuth clients to the subdomain is a platform task and should land before merchants are told the subdomain is mandatory.

Reference implementation: checkout-sdk-net#590. Tracked as INT-1688.

…-out

The merchant-specific subdomain is how merchants should reach the API, but it
was optional and an unset value silently fell back to api.checkout.com, so a
forgotten subdomain looked exactly like a deliberate opt-out and the SDK could
not warn about either. Callers must now choose: set environmentSubdomain, or
call the already-deprecated useLegacyDomain(). Both, or neither, throws.

An invalid subdomain now throws instead of being quietly ignored, which is a
second breaking change: callers passing a malformed value are currently served
by the shared host and never find out.

environmentSubdomain no longer needs environment() to be set first, since the
EnvironmentSubdomain is now built when the configuration is assembled.

The Previous (ABC) platform predates merchant-specific subdomains and stays
exempt via requiresEnvironmentSubdomain().

Mirrors checkout-sdk-net#590. Refs INT-1688.
…tion

Seven integration fixtures build their own clients outside SandboxTestFixture
(OAuth, Issuing, Accounts, Accounts payout schedules, APM previews, card
metadata), so the mandatory subdomain would have failed them at construction.

They now share TestDomainConfiguration.configureDomain, which uses the shared
hosts. Applying the merchant-specific subdomain instead looked better, since it
is the path merchants are being moved to, but the sandbox OAuth clients are not
provisioned for it: .NET CI failed 224 integration tests with invalid_client
when the token request went to {subdomain}.access.sandbox.checkout.com. The
reason is recorded on the class so nobody repeats the experiment.

🟠 Advisory review: Concerns worth a look

This PR needs a human approval. Before you give it, these are the things I'd want resolved.

This PR makes environmentSubdomain mandatory for Default/DefaultOAuth builders and adds an explicit useLegacyDomain() opt-out, correctly bumping to 8.0.0 for the breaking change. One logic gap and one operational inconsistency need resolution before merging.

Concerns

  • In TestDomainConfiguration.configureDomain, when CHECKOUT_TEST_USE_SUBDOMAIN is false (or unset) but CHECKOUT_MERCHANT_SUBDOMAIN is also unset/empty, the method falls through to builder.useLegacyDomain() — that is fine. But when useSubdomain() is true and CHECKOUT_MERCHANT_SUBDOMAIN is null or blank, the method also silently falls through to useLegacyDomain() rather than failing fast; a test run with the flag set but no secret would pass against the shared hosts instead of failing, masking the misconfiguration.
  • The PR description says CheckoutSdkTelemetryIntegrationTest now uses the hardcoded subdomain 1234doma rather than routing through TestDomainConfiguration, while all other integration tests use TestDomainConfiguration; this inconsistency means that integration test will always hit the subdomain path regardless of the CHECKOUT_TEST_USE_SUBDOMAIN flag, unlike every other integration test in the suite.
  • The validateEnvironmentSettings() call in getCheckoutConfiguration() happens after the environment == null guard but constructs EnvironmentSubdomain lazily via getEnvironmentSubdomain() only later inside buildCheckoutConfigurationDefaultCheckoutConfiguration; this means validation order is correct, but if subdomain is set to an invalid value the CheckoutArgumentException from EnvironmentSubdomain.createUrlWithSubdomain fires during DefaultCheckoutConfiguration construction rather than during validateEnvironmentSettings, giving a less clear error path than the method name implies.
  • The EnvironmentSubdomain constructor now throws immediately on an invalid subdomain (breaking change How to get checkout api status #2), but validateEnvironmentSettings() only checks for the presence/absence of subdomain vs legacy flag — it does not validate the subdomain format itself. The invalid-subdomain exception therefore surfaces from a different call site than the other validation errors, which could confuse callers reading the stack trace.
  • In SandboxTestFixture, the DEFAULT_OAUTH case falls through to CUSTOM (no break before CUSTOM) — this pre-existed the PR but the diff touches those lines; worth confirming the fall-through is intentional since CUSTOM does nothing and the checkoutApi would still be set.

CI runs the full suite, so three OAuthTestIT cases that build their own client
were still failing at construction. Local runs excluded integration tests, which
is why they were missed.

Flagged in review, and fair: a bulk edit added the subdomain to the Previous
(ABC) builder, the one platform that is exempt from needing one. That made the
test misleading and, worse, removed the only coverage of the exemption actually
working. It builds without a subdomain again.

The suite could only run against the shared hosts, so the subdomain path this PR
makes mandatory had no integration coverage. Reviewers flagged that on every SDK,
and it is the right thing to flag.

The domain helper now has two modes. Default is unchanged, the shared hosts,
because the sandbox OAuth clients are not provisioned for the subdomain and the
token request returns invalid_client. Set CHECKOUT_TEST_USE_SUBDOMAIN=true and the
suite runs against CHECKOUT_MERCHANT_SUBDOMAIN instead, so once sandbox is
provisioned like production it is a one-line change in the workflows, already
wired and documented, rather than a rewrite of every fixture.

The switch is deliberately separate from CHECKOUT_MERCHANT_SUBDOMAIN, which CI
already exports: provisioning should drive the behaviour, not the presence of a
secret.
