How to Test Apple Pay in Sandbox

One-time setup and end-to-end test flow for Apple Pay in the Transak Sandbox.

View as Markdown

Testing Apple Pay in staging requires a real Apple device and a Transak-whitelisted Sandbox Apple ID. This guide covers everything from account setup to completing a test transaction.

Apple Pay only works on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. It is not available in Chrome, Firefox, or on non-Apple devices.

Device & Account Setup

1

Create a Sandbox Apple ID email

Create a dedicated email address to use as Apple ID in Sandbox. This must be a valid email you own.

You can use the + with your existing email to avoid creating a new inbox. For example, if your email is john@gmail.com, use john+applepay@gmail.com. All emails will still arrive in your main inbox.

2

Whitelist your Email ID

Follow the steps in the Need Help in Integration section and share the following details:

FieldExample
First NameJohn
Last NameDoe
Emailjohn+applepay@gmail.com
Country / RegionFrance

Transak recommends France as the region for sandbox testing.

3

Receive whitelisted credentials from Transak

Once whitelisted, Transak will share the confirmed email and password for the sandbox account.

Keep these credentials safe as they are tied to the whitelisted sandbox account and required every time you set up a new test device.
