Deploying in Sandbox

To verify whether all API requests and responses are correctly handled, and whether user experiences are as expected, you can test in sandbox environment. Use your merchant account to log in to the Alipay sandbox portal. The Alipay sandbox portal contains information and tools you need to test in the Alipay sandbox environment, for example, test accounts information and the Alipay sandbox app. If you don’t have a merchant account, see Prerequisites. After you enter the sandbox, an application is created for you automatically.

The Sandbox gateway is https://mapi.alipaydev.com/gateway.do
