Sandbox testing guide

The sandbox is a testing environment that allows you to test your code before deploying it to production. It is a self-contained environment that simulates the production environment.

​
How to use the sandbox

Test your application by creating a sandbox account for each user entity represented in your Unyte transactions. When testing, use the sandbox accounts in place of all the live accounts you will use while processing live transactions.
  • Use your existing Unyte account to log in to the Unyte Bridge Developer Account at bridge.unyte.africa, or create a new account by clicking the Sign Up button on this site.
  • Create a set of sandbox accounts
  • Format your Unyte API requests using the details from your sandbox accounts (change to the sandbox host: dev.superpool.unyte.africa) and run them against the sandbox endpoints.
  • Review the responses and modify your application as necessary.
  • Finally, when your application is fully functional and free of bugs, go live by updating the API credentials, host server and endpoint targets.
