# Core concepts

The Optimization and Protection APIs allow you to enhance your payments experience in a standalone manner or as an integration to our Online Payments APIs. These APIs have the following key features and functionalities:

## Callbacks and notifications

Understanding webhooks and callbacks is essential for the Optimization and Protection APIs. For more information about notifications, see [Notifications](/docs/commerce/optimization-protection/capabilities/notifications/index).

## Environments

Our client testing and production environments are available 24/7 with 99.999%+ uptime.

## Instant response

The Optimization and Protection APIs send acknowledgements instantly through synchronous responses. If you have enabled notifications, the final status is sent via a webhook/asynchronous notification. You can also call the transaction status API to confirm the status of any transaction.
