Test Apple Pay in sandbox mode

Sandbox mode is a stand-alone environment that includes all features of the production environment (live mode) except for user authorization and the ability to make real payments. You can access sandbox mode by sending “sandbox”: true when getting a token.

To open the payment UI, use this link and specify the obtained token as a query parameter: https://sandbox-secure.xsolla.com/paystation4/?token={token}.

In sandbox mode, you can test the following payment UI interaction scenarios for Apple Pay:

• making test payment in the Safari browser
• making test payment in a browser via a QR code
• refund
