Sandbox Integration Guide
Last updated: July 1, 2026
What to expect during your integration process
We're excited to have you on board. Follow this guide to complete your sandbox testing and get to production API access.
Integration steps
1. Join your Integration Kick Off call
Your Technical Account Manager will walk you through the integration process, answer your questions, and explain what happens next. You'll receive your Integration Packet after the call, which includes the Sandbox Checklist and supporting guides.
2. Review the Sandbox Checklist and guides
Read the Sandbox Checklist and all supporting guides. These documents list every requirement for your integration.
3. Complete sandbox testing
Run all required testing scenarios from the checklist. Make sure your integration handles each case correctly before moving forward.
4. Submit your deliverables
Submit all required items from the checklist. For each item, add a note with:
Successful transfer IDs
Demo videos
Any items marked as "Client" in the checklist
Heads up: Before you submit, double-check each row. Incomplete notes are the most common cause of delays. Also submit 1 successful transfer per use case and payment flow. Missing transfers often cause delays, but we're here to help you get it right.
5. Ask questions in Slack
Use Slack to ask questions during your integration. Tag @Astra Support so the right team sees your message.
6. Astra reviews your deliverables
After you submit, our team reviews everything for completeness and accuracy. This typically takes 1-2 business days.
7. Technical Account Manager performs API Log Review
Your Technical Account Manager reviews your API logs to validate how your integration behaves, handles errors, and uses the API overall.
8. Make revisions if needed
If we find issues, we'll let you know. Common items that need updates:
Transfer details or IDs
Demo video content or quality
Issues from the API Log Review
Our team will provide clear, actionable feedback to help you resolve any issues quickly.
9. Get your Production API access
Congratulations! Once everything is approved, you're ready for production. You'll get full production API access and can move on to the Production Checklist.
