Augustus Test Mode lets you safely test your integration without moving real money. Simulate payments, refunds, and more, so you can catch bugs and verify your workflow before going live.

How to use Test Mode

1

Enable Test Mode in the Dashboard

Toggle the Test Mode switch in the user menu of your Augustus Dashboard. This gives you access to test API keys and the sandbox environment.
2

Use test API keys

Find your test API key in the integration section and use it with the sandbox base URL for your chosen API. See the API reference for environment-specific URLs.
3

Simulate transactions

Simulate success and error scenarios right from the Dashboard with the Sandbox Tools tab.
4

Switch to live mode when ready

When you’re ready to accept real payments, activate your account, exit Test Mode, and use your live API keys.
You can simulate different payment and payout scenarios directly from the Dashboard:
Augustus Dashboard simulating incoming payments in Test Mode
Augustus Dashboard simulating customer payouts in Test Mode
Test Mode and Live Mode are separate. Objects created in one mode are not accessible in the other - for example, an order created in Test Mode can’t be used in a live payment.
The Test Mode toggle in the Dashboard does not affect your integration code. Your API keys and base URL determine the mode.
