Activate Issuing and Treasury in a Sandbox

Start with your sandbox

There are a few ways to start testing the Issuing and Treasury APIs.

Test with the Issuing and Treasury sample application

Use the Issuing and Treasury sample application to onboard your first test connected account, create a financial account and card, and make test transactions using your newly activated sandbox environment.

Test from the Dashboard

You must use the API or sample app to create financial accounts and cards linked to financial accounts. After you create a financial account, you can use the Dashboard to view activity, copy routing and account numbers, and move funds from your platform Treasury balance into the financial account. After you create a card, you can use the Dashboard to make test authorizations. See Use the Dashboard for Issuing with connect.

Test Treasury only (without Issuing)

To test Treasury without Issuing, request the treasury capability on a connected account and don’t request card_issuing. When you activate Treasury and Issuing through the link above, it gives your platform the ability to request both capabilities independently.

Confirm test Issuing and Treasury are enabled on your sandbox

To confirm you’ve enabled Treasury and Issuing on your sandbox, click Treasury in the Dashboard to access the Financial Accounts page. If you can’t access Financial Accounts, then you haven’t enabled access.

Configure your account to go live

Enabling Treasury and Issuing through the link above lets you try out basic functionality in a testing environment. After you’re approved for a supported business use case, you can configure your live account for live Treasury and Issuing. Your sandbox environment retains the previously created test financial accounts and cards.
