Sandbox mode

Sandbox Mode

Sandbox mode provides you a separate environment for developing and testing a Preternatural integration. Sandbox projects and their data remain separate from production projects.

Use sandbox mode to test providers configurations, customer authentication and verify usage and rate limits.

Switching between environments

Use the environment toggle in the dashboard header to move between Sandbox and Production.

Create a sandbox project

1. Switch the dashboard environment to Sandbox.
2. Open the Projects page .
3. Select Create project.
4. Enter a project name.
5. Select Create.

The new project and its Free product belong to the sandbox environment.

See Create a project for the complete project setup procedure.

Test with sandbox customers

Only sandbox projects let you create synthetic customers directly in the dashboard. Each sandbox customer has a generated customer secret that you can use with the Client SDK.

This lets you test customer requests without first configuring a production authentication provider.

See Create a sandbox customer.

Moving to Production

Sandbox projects and records can’t be moved to production environment.
