Private Entwickler-Vorschau
Sandboxes is currently in private developer preview. Join Stripe Insiders, our new early access program, to register your interest in joining the Sandboxes preview.
When creating a sandbox, you must choose your starting configuration. Choose between Copying your account, so you can create a sandbox that copies settings and capabilities from your existing account, or Create an account from scratch, so you can create a sandbox where nothing is copied.
Copy settings and capabilities
Starting with the same settings and capabilities as your existing account eliminates the need to spend time manually verifying that your sandboxes behave like your existing account. We don’t synchronize settings and capabilities. As a result, they can diverge from live settings and capabilities at any time. This allows for testing how settings and capabilities changes affect integration behavior. See the settings and capabilities copied when you chose the Copy your account option.
To copy settings and capabilities from your existing account, click Create sandbox > Copy your account. Stripe provides placeholder business data to help you start testing most Stripe features. This sandbox includes placeholder data in the same country as your existing account.
Create a blank sandbox
To create a blank sandbox where nothing is copied from your existing account, click Create sandbox > Create an account from scratch.
Create a sandbox with a country different from your live account
To create a sandbox with a country different from your live account, choose the Create an account from scratch configuration. Then, set the country in the Account details tab of the Business settings for the sandbox.
