Verification

Once you have finished testing in sandbox, you have to go through a small verification process, to ensure that your system is ready for production. We expect that you have tested all the features listed below, before you start the verification process. Then it can be completed in a day.

Once we have verified that the steps has been completed successfully, you are ready to start testing in production.

14-step Verification Process - Sandbox​

To complete the verification, you must go through the steps listed below. This is done to ensure good user experience from the customer side. It is mandatory to test Subscriptions Payments, OneOff and Agreements in sandbox, even if you do not intend on implementing all functions right away. The sandbox environment is designed to be close to the production environment, which makes the process from sandbox to production smother.

When completing the steps, you must use a unique id as external_id. It must be unique in the sense that it is unique to your test, and therefore you cannot reuse an external_id from previous tests. Besides that, it can be whatever you like, with a maximum of 30 characters. You need to create three ids: one for agreements, one for a regular payment and one for a One-Off payment. Please send us an email with the three ids when you are ready to start the verification, and you can go ahead with the process.

Example of external_id: "external_id": "CompanynameAgreement"
