Test CAD Collections (Sandbox)
Simulate a CAD Interac e-Transfer collection in the Sandbox environment to test your integration and verify your webhook listeners before going live.
In the Sandbox environment, you can simulate a CAD Interac e-Transfer collection without moving real funds. A simulation goes through the same collection pipeline as a live transfer: it credits your Sandbox CAD wallet and dispatches the same webhook your server will receive in production.
The simulation endpoint is available in the Sandbox environment only. It has no equivalent in Live (Production), where collections are triggered by real Interac e-Transfers from your payers.
Before you begin
You need the following in your Sandbox account:
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| An approved CAD virtual account | The account must have a status of approved. See CAD Collections (Interac e-Transfer) to request one. |
| Your Interac email alias | The email address assigned to your CAD virtual account. CAD collections are addressed to this alias, not to an account number. |
| Your Sandbox API key | Used to authenticate the request. See Authentication. |
| A configured webhook URL | Required only if you want to see the webhook format. See Setup Webhook. |
