The ICPay sandbox server provides a testing environment where new features are introduced first, allowing developers to test integrations before they're available in production. {{ className: 'lead' }}
The sandbox server is available at:
- Website: https://betterstripe.com
- API: https://api.betterstripe.com
- Sandbox Environment: This is a testing environment and may be unavailable at times due to feature rollouts, updates, or maintenance.
- New Features First: New features and updates are typically deployed to the sandbox before production, making it ideal for early testing and integration.
- Test Networks: The sandbox includes mainnets but also testnet and devnet networks (Base Sepolia and Solana Devnet) so you can test with free faucet tokens without spending real funds.
The sandbox server supports the following test networks for development and testing:
| Chain Name | Chain ID | RPC URL | Faucet Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Sepolia | 84532 | https://sepolia.base.org |
Chainlink Faucet / ETHGlobal Faucet |
| Solana Devnet | - | https://api.devnet.solana.com |
Solana Faucet / QuickNode Faucet |
Both networks provide free test tokens through their respective faucets:
- Base Sepolia: Request test ETH from the Chainlink or ETHGlobal faucets to pay for gas fees and test transactions.
- Solana Devnet: Request test SOL from the Solana faucet to pay for transaction fees and test Solana-based payments.
These test tokens have no real-world value and are intended solely for development and testing purposes.
To use the ICPay Widget with the sandbox server, configure the apiUrl option in your widget config to point to the sandbox API endpoint.
