I am trying to develop a wrapper for the Square Connect API. I am looking for a sandbox account or a way to import test data to a new account so I can get started quickly with the development side.

Thank you!

For future reference for people who land here from Google, Square now offers this. Every account is given a set of sandbox credentials, as well as there is an anonymous sandbox you can use without logging in.

Login here and create an application. Once you create the application, there will be Sandbox settings that you can use. https://connect.squareup.com/apps

Here is some more documentation: https://docs.connect.squareup.com/articles/using-sandbox/ https://docs.connect.squareup.com/ (general guide)

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there is a dashboard where you can see the transactions in Sandbox mode, but I suppose it's not 100% needed.

You can download the Square register app on a mobile device and submit cash transactions to a live merchant account. Not ideal, but this is what I do to add test data.

    To comment, it would be nice if Square would add the facilities for an actual test account. – Tim Upchurch Aug 10 '15 at 22:44
  • This would be very helpful indeed. Especially if you are developing an 3rd party application for others to use. I would like to try out the OAuth, and without creating an extra account, not sure how. – Carol AndorMarten Liebster Dec 05 '15 at 15:32
