# Create a Sandbox Account

> Sign up for a UQPAY sandbox account to test API integrations with mock data before going live.

The sandbox environment mirrors production but lets you test integrations with fictitious data — no real funds are involved. You need a sandbox account before you can generate API keys or make API calls.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Register on the sandbox portal">
    Visit [app-sandbox.uqpaytech.com](https://app-sandbox.uqpaytech.com/) and sign up with your email address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your email">
    Check your inbox for a confirmation email and click **Confirm Email Address** to activate your account.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Start entity verification">
    After logging in, click **Verify now** to begin KYC/KYB verification. Select the business line you plan to integrate before filling in entity details — you can switch business lines from the top-left corner of the dashboard.

    <Tip>
      In the sandbox environment, you can use mock or fictitious data for all verification fields.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit and share your Account ID">
    After you submit verification, copy your **Account ID** and share it with the UQPAY Operations Team. They will configure your account and enable API access.

    To find your Account ID, click your profile picture in the top-right corner — the ID is displayed in the dropdown menu.

    <Note>
      API access is not available until the Operations Team has configured your account. Reach out to them with your Account ID to proceed.
