Building in Sandbox

Modern Treasury has a fully functional Sandbox environment that allows customers to test their payment flows in a simulated environment before moving to Production. Most Modern Treasury objects have a live_mode field is true for Production objects and false for Sandbox objects.

Payments in the Sandbox do not correspond to actual money movement. In this section you can learn about the different options for simulating workflows, including exceptions.

🚧

Sandbox timings vary from production.

In order to make development and testing more efficient, and unless otherwise stated, Sandbox behavior may behave different from real-life. For example, rather than wait a day for an ACH payment to settle, the Sandbox will settle the Payment Order within seconds allowing for an end-to-end reconciliation workflow in seconds rather than hours to days.

For testing scenarios that need to simulate a processing delay, use the process_after of the Create Payment Order API.
