# Sandbox (https://docs.chargeflow.io/docs/platforms/sandbox)



<ComingSoon href="/docs/reference/api-fundamentals/test-credentials">
  An isolated sandbox for platform integrations is on the way. It will let you build and validate
  against seeded test accounts and disputes without touching production data, including a sample
  EaaS package and an in-page API explorer. Interactive, runnable tutorials will ship alongside it.
</ComingSoon>

Until the sandbox ships, build against the live API with care.

## Build safely before the sandbox [#build-safely-before-the-sandbox]

1. Generate API keys from the [Chargeflow App](https://app.chargeflow.io/settings#developers), see [API keys](https://docs.chargeflow.io/docs/reference/api-fundamentals/test-credentials).
2. Read [How Evidence as a Service works](https://docs.chargeflow.io/docs/platforms/eaas/how-it-works) before you build your generation flow.
3. Work through the [Go-live checklist](https://docs.chargeflow.io/docs/reference/api-fundamentals/go-live-checklist) before you send production traffic.

## What you will be able to test [#what-you-will-be-able-to-test]

* Authentication against `https://api.chargeflow.io` using the `x-api-key` header.
* Onboard accounts, following [Onboard a merchant](https://docs.chargeflow.io/docs/platforms/eaas/onboard-a-merchant).
* Submit platform disputes, following [Submit platform disputes](https://docs.chargeflow.io/docs/platforms/eaas/submit-platform-disputes).
* Generate evidence, following the [Generate evidence recipe](https://docs.chargeflow.io/docs/platforms/eaas/generate-evidence-in-10s).
* Webhooks for `evidence.ready`, `evidence.error`, and `integration.access.error` events.
