Sandbox Gateway

When developing or testing, unless you are testing how a specific gateway behaves, we recommend you use our "Sandbox Gateway". This is only listed on accounts in "Sandbox" mode and requires no credentials.


Gateway Options

You are not required to make any configuration changes unless you are trying to test a specific scenario.

Setup
OptionDescription
Enable CardsWhen selected this gateway will allow credit / debit cards to be used at checkout.
Enable ACHWhen selected this gateway will allow ACH (bank transfer) to be used at checkout, ACH is available for USD transactions only.
Enable SEPAWhen selected this gateway will allow SEPA (bank transfer) to be used at checkout, SEPA is available for EURO transactions only.
Enable HostedWhen selected this gateway will emulate a hosted checkout process (a pay button which opens a popup window that contains a checkout via a third party) - for example GoCardless, Mollie or Paypal. In the emulator you select if the payment will be successful or declined.
Enable Network TokenisationThis will allow payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay where appropriate
Developer ModeThis provides a number of advanced options, if you are not in the process of developing the integration do not use this.

If you select the developer mode, the following additional options become available:

Setup
OptionDescription
Disable Save CardUsed to emulate a payment processor that does not support saving cards.
PendingUsed to emulate a payment processor that does not authorise a payment immediately but returns a PENDING status. If selected you will be prompted to enter the number of seconds the transaction will remain in a PENDING status for (e.g. 600 for 10 minutes).
JS WrapperUsed to emulate a payment processor that needs to inject their own Javascript library in the checkout page.
Require 3DS WindowUsed to emulate a payment processor that requires 3D Secure to be hosted outside of an iFrame.
Require Account NameUsed to emulate a payment processor that requires an account name to authorise a transaction.
Require AVSUsed to emulate a payment processor that requires an address to authorise a transaction.
Require CVCUsed to emulate a payment processor that requires a CVC to authorise a transaction.
Require EmailUsed to emulate a payment processor that requires an email to authorise a transaction.
Require PhoneUsed to emulate a payment processor that requires a phone number to authorise a transaction.
Require Line ItemsUsed to emulate a payment processor that requires a line items to authorise a transaction.

Note: If you are using our supplied checkout, most developer options are handled for you, however you should ensure that you handle a PENDING response from checkout, and catch the subsequent approval / decline webhook.
