Delegare provides a dedicated Sandbox Environment where you can safely test the entire spending delegate lifecycle—from session creation to atomic limit enforcement to dual-rail payments—without using real funds.

​
Switching to Test Mode

In your Delegare Merchant Dashboard, use the Environment Toggle in the sidebar to switch between Live and Sandbox. When in the Sandbox environment, you will be issued test API keys that begin with sk_test_....

​
Test Setup Sessions

When you create a setup session using a test API key, the setupUrl will direct users to a mocked flow where they do not need to enter real payment details. Instead, they can use predefined “Test Cards” and “Test Wallets” to simulate successful or failed connection states.

​
Simulating Payments

When your agent uses a test delegateToken to call /charge:
  • Stripe Simulation: The Vault automatically uses Stripe’s test clocks to mock fiat payments. No actual credit card charge is attempted.
  • Base Simulation: The Vault connects to Base Sepolia (or a local fork) to simulate onchain settlement, executing mock USDC transfers without requiring real gas or assets.

​
Webhooks in Sandbox

All sandbox transactions will trigger webhooks sent to your test environment URLs, exactly mimicking live events. The payload will have a flag ("livemode": false) so your backend can differentiate between real and simulated events.
