Sandbox guide

Sandbox lets you test Paypercut before live payments are enabled.

You can use Sandbox to check how Paypercut works, test your payment setup, and prepare your integration without processing real money.

Important

Sandbox can only be activated before your account goes live.

If you want to use Sandbox later, activate it now while your account is still in setup.

What you can do in Sandbox

You can use Sandbox to:

• Test successful payments
• Test failed payment scenarios
• Test declined payment responses
• Test 3D Secure flows
• Check your checkout setup
• Test API keys and webhooks, where relevant
• Validate your integration before using live credentials

How to access Sandbox

1. Log in to your Paypercut dashboard.
2. Open the account selector in the top-right corner.
3. Switch to the Sandbox environment.
4. Use Sandbox credentials or test cards to run test payments.

When to use Sandbox

Use Sandbox if you want to:

• Test Paypercut before going live
• Check that your checkout works correctly
• Validate your integration setup
• Test payment flows without charging real customers
• Prepare your store, website, or app before accepting live payments

Sandbox vs Live

Before you go Live

Before switching to live payments, make sure you have:

• Completed onboarding
• Submitted the required business information and documents
• Received account approval
• Checked your payment setup in Sandbox, if needed
• Confirmed that your live setup is ready
