Sandbox Environment

Test everything safely before a single byte of real EDI goes out.

Every developer account gets a full sandbox environment. Sandbox API keys (xp_test_...) submit transactions that are isolated from production β€” no real EDI is delivered, no partners are notified, no ACKs are required.

Features
What's included
βœ“

Separate API keys

Sandbox keys are prefixed xp_test_ β€” production keys are prefixed xp_live_. Never confused.

βœ“

Isolated transaction ledger

Sandbox transactions never appear in your production feed. Switch between environments with a key swap.

βœ“

No live EDI sent

Nothing leaves the platform in sandbox mode. Trading partners receive nothing. Test freely.

βœ“

Trial = sandbox only

Trial accounts are automatically sandbox-only. Production access unlocks when you subscribe β€” that's the paywall.

βœ“

Same API surface

Sandbox and production use identical endpoints and request formats. Promoting to production requires zero code changes.

βœ“

Test partner support

Sandbox mode can list and interact with test partners so you can build your full integration flow without real partner credentials.
