Test merchant accounts allow you to simulate merchant interactions with your application. This includes installing your app, granting permissions, and then testing all the features of your app. When you sign up to create your sandbox developer account, you can create a test merchant after entering your developer and account information.

On the Test Merchants Dashboard, you can:

• Create multiple test merchant accounts and navigate between Test Merchants Dashboards.
• Manage your Test Merchants Dashboard login credentials.
• View and manage your test merchant business information. (Click the Settings icon next to the merchant name.) See Manage test merchants for more information.

Create your first test merchant

You need to create your first test merchant while creating the sandbox developer account. See Create a sandbox developer account for steps on how to create your Sandbox developer account and the first test merchant account. After you create a test merchant, you can access the Test Merchants Dashboard, and create additional test merchants.

Create additional test merchants

You can create additional test merchants for each region where you want to make your app. You can add test merchants with different settings to simulate the effects of different regions, time zones, currencies, or permissions schemes.

A specific payment gateway is configured based on the address you enter for your test merchant. For example, if you want to create an app for use in Canada, create your test merchant using a Canadian address. The test merchant that you create will process test transactions using the correct gateway for that region.
