The Sandbox environment lets you develop and test your integration without touching live payments.

​
Sandbox Environment

Atoa’s sandbox environment is a self-contained environment that simulates the live production environment. The sandbox provides a space where you can initiate, experiment and watch transactions without touching a live bank account. We highly recommend that you use the sandbox before generating the production keys. The sandbox mirrors all the features of the live environment but has some minor differences that make it easy to test flows. Please follow the sandbox guide to know more.

Atoa Sandbox environment guide

The Sandbox serves as a testing environment enabling merchants to simulate the end-to-end payment process. Merchants can use sandbox credentials to simulate different scenarios, such as successful payments, failed payments, and pending payments.

Note

Refer to the getting started guide for signup, obtaining an access token, and creating a payment request. Then, proceed with the steps below to simulate different payment scenarios.
Step 1: Generate a Payment Request using sandbox access. Step 2: Open the payment URL or scan the QR code URL using your phone’s camera. Step 3: Simulate the Payment Scenarios.
The actual sandbox provided by the bank may not work sometimes, so we prefer using the Atoa Test bank to simulate all scenarios, such as successful, failed, or canceled payments, as given in the table below.

Simulating Payment Scenarios in Sandbox

You can simulate all payment outcomes directly using the Atoa Test Bank. Steps:
  1. Select Atoa Test Bank when prompted to choose a bank.
  2. After redirection, you will see the Select Payment Status screen.
  3. Use the dropdown to choose the desired payment outcome:
    • COMPLETED — to simulate a successful payment
    • FAILED — to simulate a failed payment
    • PENDING — to simulate a pending payment
  4. After selecting the status, click Submit to complete the simulation.
