Test saved cards in sandbox mode

Contents

Sandbox mode is a stand-alone environment that supports all the features of a live environment, except real and declined payments. You can access sandbox mode by sending "mode":"sandbox" when you get the token.

To open the payment UI, use this link and specify the obtained token there: https://sandbox-secure.xsolla.com/paystation3/?access_token={token}.

Notice
Currently, testing tokenization is only available for scenarios with bank card payments.

In the sandbox mode, you can test the following scenarios of interaction with the payment UI while making a payment with a saved bank card:

Note
Scenarios for testing one-time purchase in the sandbox mode are also applied to testing tokenization.
