How the sandbox behaves
The sandbox checks your requests exactly like live does. A request that fails in the sandbox fails in live too. The difference is what happens after a payment is created:- No bank, mobile money provider, or blockchain is contacted.
- The deposit instructions you get back are for testing only. Don’t send real money to them.
- The payment walks through the happy path by itself, one step about every 3 seconds, until it reaches
completed. - You receive a webhook at each step, just like in live.
- One-time codes for mobile money are checked for format (4 to 8 digits) but not sent anywhere.
