The future of test mode is here, and we’re excited to announce a private beta of Sandboxes! Sandboxes are isolated testing environments for Stripe integrations. With Sandboxes, you can more confidently test and deploy Stripe integrations by testing in separate sandboxes with granular access controls. Sandboxes can easily be organized for teams or development environments. Your existing test mode data is still available to you while getting started with Sandboxes.
How will Sandboxes make your testing process better?
We already have the opportunity to copy live configurations at the Sandbox creation, but is it planned to be able to copy objects between Sandboxes? Maybe I’d like to work in different environments, but re-creating objects such as payment methods or customers among Sandboxes might be a hassle. It’s just a quality-of-life improvement that could help.
One way I’ve found Sandboxes beneficial is the ability to test out new functionality we want to play around with without impacting our Test Mode system. Also found having to go through the set up process quite useful as I’ve never had to do this before as everything was already set up and ready to go before hand. So avoids losing knowledge.
