We currently use multiple stripe accounts to support all of our environments (all unverified and test-only, except the one used for production).
I would assume this is a very common pattern, and the main reason for sandboxes?
Are there any plans to support a migration from another account’s test mode to a sandbox in a different account? Is this even planned for current test modes?
Hi Patrik! One of our goals with Sandboxes is definitely to make the testing experience better for those who needed more than a single test mode to do their testing. We don’t have anything to share about migrating your account’s test mode to a sandbox of another account. I’m curious if you have thoughts on the following:
- What is stopping you from recreating what you need in a new sandbox associated with the account you need it in?
- What would you need migrated between your existing test mode and a different account’s sandbox?
I guess we could recreate everything in sandboxes, however it is quite a bit of work. For context, we’d need to migrate especially all API keys and webhook secrets. I also read somewhere here that local webhook forwarding is not (properly?) working, although it might be enough in our case. I haven’t tried it yet.
So yeah, the main thing that we would like to migrate is API keys, webhooks, and products, as those are the most work to set up properly. This is especially true because the stripe dashboard cannot easily be used in two tabs with different accounts for split-screen.
