Testing with the sandbox environment

The LinkStacked sandbox is a separate environment for testing your integrations without affecting your real account data.

Sandbox vs. live

  • Sandbox base URL: https://api.sandbox.linkstacked.com
  • Live base URL: https://api.linkstacked.com
  • Sandbox data is isolated — no overlap with your live account.
  • No real money is processed in the sandbox.
  • Sandbox API keys start with ls_test_ (vs ls_live_ for live).

Getting sandbox credentials

  1. 1Go to Settings → Security → API keys.
  2. 2Toggle the "Sandbox" switch.
  3. 3Click "Generate sandbox key".
  4. 4Use this key with the sandbox base URL for all test requests.

Sandbox limitations

  • Sandbox data is reset every 24 hours.
  • Webhooks in the sandbox use sandbox URLs — test your endpoints with sandbox events.
  • Email notifications in the sandbox go to your account email only.

Always test new integrations in the sandbox before going live. Use your live ls_live_ key only when you're confident the integration works correctly.
