Testing

Ecentric provides a fully mocked Sandbox environment where merchants can test hosted payments and API integrations.

Test environment

Merchants can request a Sandbox test account by completing the onboarding form.

The following will be provided:

  • A Merchant GUID – uniquely identifies the merchant account
    Example GUID: R536489D-C64S-7785-ADAC-CB144898TYSH
  • A Secret key will be provided for hosted payments. This is used to generate a digital signature (or checksum) to ensure the data is not tampered with. Importantly, the key must be kept strictly private (i.e. not be shared with any external parties).

Sandbox Endpoint URLs


The following endpoints should be used for our Sandbox environment:


The production details (MerchantGUID, Secret Key and endpoint URL's) will be provided once Sandbox testing is complete and the Ecentric production merchant account has been created.
