Create a sandbox account

Getting Started#

View as Markdown

Follow this section to go from zero to a working GoCardless integration. Each guide builds on the previous one, taking you from account setup through to a production-ready payment flow.

What you'll build#

By the end of this section you will have a GoCardless sandbox account configured, have made your first authenticated API request, created a payment, set up webhook notifications to track payment events, and completed the steps required to go live.

Tip
Start in the sandbox

All guides in this section use the GoCardless sandbox environment. The sandbox is free, requires no approval, and lets you test the full payment lifecycle without moving real money. You will switch to the live environment in the Go-live Checklist.
