How to Test Authorize.net Payment Tool on Sandbox Mode

Sandbox Mode is an essential test tool typically for developers that completely simulates the payment process, error responses, and reports. If you wish to know how it feels to make/receive payment, this is a featured tool that you can use.  

Authorize.net provides a sandbox environment for merchants, and you can set this up on your Jotform forms. Here are your requirements:

• Sandbox Account – go to the following page to create your Sandbox account.
• API Login ID and Transaction Key – you must log in to Authorize.net’s Sandbox page to get these credentials. Please follow the steps from this user guide on how to obtain your API login key. The guide is for the live Authorize.net, but the steps are the same. Save the keys for later.

Setting up Sandbox Mode for Authorize.net

Once you have your sandbox account and the credentials, it’s time to set up the sandbox mode for your Authorize.net payment field.

1. In the Form Builder, click Authorize.net.
2. Open the Payment Settings by clicking the wand icon.
3. Click the Settings icon at the top right of the payment settings window.

4. Enter your sandbox credentials – API Login ID and Transaction Key.

5. Scroll down, and open the Additional Gateway Settings.
6. Toggle Sandbox Mode to On.

7. Scroll down and click the Continue button to save the changes. At this stage, you should see the Sandbox notice below the label of the Authorize.net payment.
