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
- 1Go to Settings → Security → API keys.
- 2Toggle the "Sandbox" switch.
- 3Click "Generate sandbox key".
- 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.
