Pieze has a sandbox. You can test anything as you are doing it in a live environment on the internet. We assure you that anything that happens in the sandbox stays within the sandbox itself. If you need to test your website’s payment gateway or how your internal system works with a payment gateway, you can use Pieze to assist you

• Simple answer – No!, payments issued in the Sandbox do not process as the rest of the live environment. It’s a UAT system to test yourself. While the Sandbox mimics the appearance of the live platform, simulating the payment processing in Pieze, the transactions are not executed in reality. The purpose is to offer you a comprehensive understanding of the payment flow within the Pieze platform without making any financial transactions.
