The SDK supports the item purchase from the catalog in one click or via the shopping cart.

To test the purchase process, you can use sandbox mode of payment UI and [test bank cards](/dev-resources/testing/test-cards/). The sandbox mode only simulates the behavior of a payment method; no real money is involved. To try sandbox, you don't need to sign any agreements with Xsolla or pay any fees.

**Audience: all other audiences**

> [!NOTE]
> After the first real payment is made, a strict sandbox payment policy takes effect. Payments made in sandbox mode are available only to users who are specified in [Publisher Account](https://publisher.xsolla.com/signup?store_type=sdk) in the **Company settings > Users** section.

## How-tos

Learn about advanced setups from our how-tos.

**Section: How to set up user redirection to your application after payment**

To redirect users to another page after they completed the payment, you can configure two types of redirects:
- automatic — a redirect with a set delay.
- manual — a redirect after a user clicks the redirect button.

You can configure a redirect in the following ways:
- [in Publisher Account](#sdk_configure_redirects_in_publisher) — use this option if you are setting up a project for a single application and don’t plan to create builds for different platforms.

   > - `app://xpayment.<ANDROID_PACKAGE_NAME>`, where `<ANDROID_PACKAGE_NAME>` is the [package name of the Android application](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/configure-app-module#set-application-id).
   > - `app://xpayment.<BUNDLE_ID>`, where `<BUNDLE_ID>` is the [iOS application identifier](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/bundle_ids).


3. To set automatic redirect parameters:

      - **None — do not redirect**.

      - **Successful or canceled payment** — redirect when a payment is successful or canceled.
      - **Any payment** — redirect for any payment status.
   b. In the **Delay** field, enter a redirect timeout in seconds. By default, a redirect is activated in 0 seconds.


4. To set manual redirect parameters:
   a. In the drop-down list, choose **Manual redirect condition**:
      - **None — do not redirect**.
      - **Successful payment** — the redirect button appears when a payment is successful.
      - **Successful or canceled payment** — the redirect button appears when a payment is successful or canceled.
      - **Any payment** — the redirect button appears for any payment status.
   b. In the **Redirect button caption** field, enter the copy for the button that redirects a user to the return URL.

   > [!NOTE]
   >
   > The redirect button copy is **Back to the Game** by default. It is localized in all Pay Station languages.
   >
   > If your project supports several languages, you can specify redirect button copy for each of them in the respective fields.
   >
   > When a user closes the payment UI, they are also redirected to the specified return URL.

## Configure redirects in SDK settings

Pass the redirect parameters to the `init` method. To do this, add the lines in the source code of your project in Cocos Creator in accordance with the example for Android build below. Set redirect parameters:


1. In the `useSettingsFromPublisherAccount` pass `false`.
2. In the `returnUrl` parameter, pass a URL or a path a user will be redirected to after making a payment.

   > [!NOTE]
   > To redirect users to a mobile application, the URL must match one of the following schemes:
   > - `app://xpayment.<ANDROID_PACKAGE_NAME>`, where `<ANDROID_PACKAGE_NAME>` is the [package name of the Android application](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/configure-app-module#set-application-id).
   > - `app://xpayment.<BUNDLE_ID>`, where `<BUNDLE_ID>` is the [iOS application identifier](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/bundle_ids).


3. To set automatic redirect parameters:
   a. In the `redirectCondition` parameter, pass conditions when a redirect is activated:
      - `PaymentRedirectCondition.none` — do not redirect.
      - `PaymentRedirectCondition.successful` — redirect when a payment is successful.
      - `PaymentRedirectCondition.successful_or_canceled` — redirect when a payment is successful or canceled.
      - `PaymentRedirectCondition.any` — redirect for any payment status.
   b. In the `redirectDelay` parameter, pass a redirect timeout in seconds.


4. To set manual redirect parameters:
   a. In the `redirectStatusManual` parameter, pass a payment status when the redirect button appears:
      - `PaymentRedirectCondition.none` — do not redirect.
      - `PaymentRedirectCondition.successful` — redirect when a payment is successful.
      - `PaymentRedirectCondition.successful_or_canceled` — redirect when a payment is successful or canceled.
      - `PaymentRedirectCondition.any` — redirect for any payment status.
   b. In the `redirectButtonCaption` parameter, pass copy for the button that redirects a user to the return URL.

   > [!NOTE]
   >
   > The redirect button copy is **Back to the Game** by default. It is localized in all Pay Station languages.
   >
   > If your project supports several languages, you can specify redirect button copy for each of them in the respective fields.
   >
   > When a user closes the payment UI, they are also redirected to the specified return URL.

   **Example of setting up redirects for Android build:**

   ```typescript
   let redirectPolicySettingsAndroid: RedirectPolicySettings = {
                   useSettingsFromPublisherAccount: false,
                   returnUrl: 'app://xpayment.com.example.myapp',
                   redirectCondition: PaymentRedirectCondition.successful,
                   redirectDelay: 0,
                   redirectStatusManual: PaymentRedirectStatusManual.successful,
                   redirectButtonCaption: 'Back to the game'
           };
   var settings: XsollaSettings = {
               loginId: '<yourLoginId>',
               projectId: '<yourProjectId>',
               clientId: '<yourClientId>',
               enableSandbox: IsSandbox,
               redirectPolicySettingsAndroid: redirectPolicySettingsAndroid
           }
   
           Xsolla.init(settings);
   
   ```

   > [!NOTE]
   > You can set different redirect parameters for different build platforms for your application. To do this, use the parameters:
   > - `redirectPolicySettingsAndroid`
   > - `redirectPolicySettingsIOS`
   > - `redirectPolicySettingsWebGL`
