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