Sandbox

The sandbox is your playground for building and testing an integration — see Environments for its base URL and access token. This page is about what to actually expect from it day to day.

What's in the sandbox​

  • Dummy account types — generate synthetic transactions and reports, and deliberately trigger error/warning states, without connecting to a real PSP.
  • Sandbox/test accounts for PSPs that offer one — connect to the PSP's own sandbox instead of a live merchant account.

What to expect​

  • Treat it as a playground, not a staging environment. PayData also uses the sandbox to test new releases and features before they reach production, so its behavior, stability, and availability can change or be affected without notice.
  • Data can be deleted without notice. Don't rely on sandbox accounts, transactions, or reports staying around — recreate what you need for a test run rather than treating anything here as durable.
  • Lower rate limits apply than in production.
