General info

The Sandbox is a great opportunity to test our API without making any real transactions. Merchants won’t have to send any money – just provide the payment case that you want to test and get the full data from our API describing the case.

Example:

1. The merchant creates a payment indicating ‘case’:’success’.
2. We get the money on our deposit – but it is a test version. No real money is transferred.
3. We test-process the payment.
4. The merchant gets all the notifications, as if the process were real.
5. The merchant can view their payment activity on their dashboard, as if it were real
