Using the Sandbox Environment
If you're not sure what you want to do before accessing the sandbox, the setup page for inspiration, and we'll walk you through the setup step-by-step!
Accessing the Sandbox
The sandbox environment allows you to test your integration without affecting live data. It replicates the production environment, providing you with a safe space to validate your API integration.
To access the sandbox environment, use the following base URL in your API requests:
Sandbox Base URL: https://developer-sandbox.accessbankplc.com/
Sandbox API Key
Your sandbox API key can be generated from the API section in your account dashboard. Use this key exclusively for sandbox testing.
Testing Transactions
In the sandbox environment, you can:
- Generate Virtual Accounts
- Fetch Customer Details
- Simulate Transactions
- Check Transaction Status
- and many more...
Ensure you thoroughly test your integration in the sandbox before going live.
Next Steps: Transition to Production
Once you have validated your integration in the sandbox, you can switch to the production environment by updating the base URL and API key in your configuration.
