Sandbox and Live accounts

Stripe supports sandbox accounts (where no real transactions are processed) and live accounts.

Your doForms account can be connected to one sandbox account and one live account.

doForms suggests that you test each payment form in sandbox mode before checking the Use live account option on the Stripe Payment control.

Test transactions can be processed in the Sandbox account even if onboarding is not completed. In contrast, the live account onboarding must be completed before transactions can be processed.

Connect
