Sandbox accounts

Please note: Sandbox accounts have all features enabled by default so that merchants can test all available features. A live account will have some restrictions based on the package and add-on you've selected. For more information on restricted endpoints please see our Developer Docs.

The sandbox environment enables you to test the full GoCardless platform, without payments being submitted to the banking system for processing.

These accounts are great for running tests if building an integration with our API, but can be just as useful if you simply want to test out the different features within the dashboard without processing any payments as you would in a live environment. Click here to learn more about using scenario simulators for testing in sandbox. 

Sandbox accounts are separate from live accounts and can be created here.

Please note: Once you've completed your testing, we recommend cancelling all customer mandates within your sandbox account to avoid receiving further sandbox notification emails.

Can I reset my sandbox account?

You’re not able to reset or delete information from your sandbox account, as it behaves exactly the same way as a live account.

If you need to start again, we’d recommend creating a new sandbox account here. If you need to use the same email address as your previous account, please just let us know at api@gocardless.com and we can close this account to allow you to use the email address again.
