Sandbox users

To test your game on the Jest platform, you can create sandbox users in the Developer Console. Sandbox users are test accounts that simulate real player activity without affecting production users or incurring real charges.

You can use sandbox users to test features such as login flows, notifications, and in-app purchases.

For a full testing workflow, see Testing with sandbox users.

Create a sandbox user​

To create a sandbox user:

  1. In the left sidebar navigation, select Sandbox Users.
  2. Select Create Sandbox User.

The new sandbox user will appear in your list of test accounts.

Log in as a sandbox user​

Once you have created a sandbox user:

  1. In the left sidebar navigation, select Sandbox Users.
  2. Select Generate Login Link for the user.
  3. Open the generated URL in your browser.

The link automatically logs you in as the selected sandbox user. A small overlay labeled Sandbox user appears at the top of the page, indicating that you are using a test account.

Notifications​

When the platform sends a notification to a sandbox user, it appears in that user's inbox. You can also view scheduled notifications for the user from the Developer Console. This is useful for debugging and verifying notification delivery.

Payments​

You can test in-app purchases using sandbox users. During testing, item prices appear as 0, and no charges are made. The full purchase flow is executed, allowing you to verify game behavior without processing real payments.
