Hello

Please can we have an option to show an actual checkout for testing with the sandbox endpoint with the Create Payment Link API. It’s very difficult to test the API JSON has worked correctly without creating a production checkout.

Thanks

I’ve just noticed that there is now a preview link button in the sandbox checkout - this is excellent! Thanks for the quick turnaround 🙂
