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.

Stripe
Environment
dashboard.stripe.com (Test Mode)
Credentials
pk_test_... / sk_test_... / whsec_...
Where to get keys
Stripe Dashboard → Developers → API Keys
Test mode is toggled globally in the dashboard — no separate environment URL needed.
Adyen

checkout-test.adyen.com
Credentials
API key from Customer Area → Developers → API credentials
Where to get keys
Adyen Customer Area → Developers → API credentials
Webhook HMAC key configured in Customer Area → Developers → Webhooks.

Square
Environment

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.
