Sandbox
The ApplePay sandbox environment allows merchants and developers to test their implementation of ApplePay with test credit and debit cards. Currently the sandbox supports ApplePay testing for:
- Australia
- Canada
- China mainland
- Hong Kong
- Taiwan
- France
- Ireland
- Italy
- Japan
- New Zealand
- Russia
- Singapore
- Spain
- United Kingdom
- United States
Note: It is also important to test ApplePay in your production environment. Real cards must be used in the production environment. Test cards will not work.
Getting Started
You’ll need the following to test ApplePay in the sandbox:
- iPhone 6 or later, iPadmini3 or later, iPadAir2, iPadPro, or AppleWatch
- AppStoreConnect sandbox tester account
- Supported test credentials
Developer Account and Website
To successfully establish an ApplePay session with ApplePay servers, your AppleDeveloper account needs to be configured for ApplePay. This includes registering a merchant ID, creating certificates, and verifying your website domain if you plan to implement ApplePay for the web. Make sure to complete the steps below before testing your ApplePay implementation with ApplePay servers.

- Register a Merchant ID in your developer account.
- Create your Payment Processing Certificate or obtained a CSR from your PSP.
- Create your Merchant Identity Certificate (ApplePay for web only).
- Register and verify a Merchant Domain (ApplePay for web only).
- Verify that all webpages hosting an ApplePay button are HTTPS and your web server supports TLS1.2.
Create a Sandbox Tester Account
To create a sandbox tester account, follow these steps:
- Sign in to App Store Connect.
- On the homepage, click UsersandAccess.
- Under Sandbox, click Testers.
- Click “+” to set up your tester accounts.
- Complete the tester information form and click Invite.
- Sign out of your AppleID on all testing devices and sign back in with your new sandbox tester account.
For more information on how to create a sandbox tester account, see AppStoreConnect Help: Create a sandbox tester account.
Adding a Test Card Number
To get started, add a test card to Wallet:
- Make sure to sign out of iCloud and sign into your test device with your sandbox tester account.
- Go to Wallet and tap Add Credit or Debit Card.
- Using your test credential, follow the steps to add a new card using manual entry.
- After your card has been added, you may begin testing.
Note: To provision test cards on your device and use the sandbox, you will need to make sure that your device’s region is set to a country or region that supports ApplePay.
Testing Apple Pay on Your Apps and Websites
With your iPhone, iPad, or AppleWatch, you can use the ApplePay sandbox to pay within your app and website. The ApplePay sandbox environment allows merchants and developers to test ApplePay before or after implementation. Developers don’t have to use their personal production cards for testing. Merchants or your PSP can test whether they’re able to decrypt the transaction-specific payment load.
Note: Your sandbox test transaction will decline pre-fulfillment as the test key will not match your production key.
