Processor Sandbox Quick Reference
Every major processor provides a free sandbox environment. Below is a quick guide to environment URLs, credential formats, and where to obtain your test keys — without ever touching production.
ST

The sandbox mirrors production APIs exactly — no feature differences.
Never commit sandbox credentials to source control. Even though test keys cannot charge real cards, they expose your account to abuse. Use environment variables or a secrets manager for all keys, including test ones.
