At this time, Apliiq does not offer a sandbox or development environment for API testing. To test order creation, developers will need to place a real order using a valid payment method and then cancel it.

How Testing Works

To simulate an order through the Apliiq API:

1. Connect your API integration
   Ensure your API is properly set up and authenticated with your Apliiq account.

2. Add a valid payment method
   
   A real payment method is required to place orders.

   (A payment method is required before any order can be processed.)

3. Place a test order via the API
   Submit your order as you normally would through your integration.

4. Cancel the order in your Apliiq account
   Immediately log into your Apliiq dashboard and cancel the order.

   How to cancel an order

Important Notes

• Cancel the order the same day it is placed
  Orders move into production quickly. If not canceled in time, they may be fulfilled.

• Orders can only be canceled before production begins
  Once production starts, cancellations may not be possible or may incur fees.

• Do not delay cancellation
  Orders can move from “New” to production quickly, so act immediately after placing your test.

Best Practices

• Clearly label test orders (e.g., include “TEST” in the name or notes).

• Use a low-cost product for testing.

• Run tests during business hours so you can monitor and cancel immediately.

• Confirm the order status updates to “Canceled” after completing your test.

Summary

Because there is no sandbox environment, testing the Apliiq API requires placing a real order and canceling it right away. As long as you cancel the order the same day—before production begins—you can safely validate your integration without fulfillment.
