Hi Team,
For one of the businesses in US, we are integrating Square SDK. Development team is based in India. Wanted to check what is the best option for development team to test it?
Please advise.
Thanks,

The best option for your development team to test the Square SDK integration would be to use the Square Sandbox. The Square Sandbox is a free, isolated server environment that allows you to simulate transactions and test your integration without affecting the production environment. It separates transactions from the production environment and uses test values, so it’s safe for testing purposes.
You can create transactions in the Sandbox by calling Square APIs using API Explorer or your own code. You can use the Sandbox to take payments, create an inventory and subscriptions, and simulate sales and transactions using payment information specifically for use with the Sandbox.
Please note that the Sandbox doesn’t accept valid credit cards. You must use test credit card values found in Sandbox Payments. Also, the Sandbox doesn’t support all features, such as certain Square applications and hardware, and it has some limitations.
Remember, the Sandbox environment is free of charge and you can make an unlimited number of free sandbox API calls. There are no payment processing fees for sandbox payments given that cards aren’t actually charged and payments are never actually processed by a live bank.
For more detailed instructions on how to use the Sandbox, you can refer to the Square Sandbox documentation.

Looks like the ReaderSDK is not supported by the sandbox. Is there any other way to test / verify SDK integration in another geography say India?
You’re correct that the Square Reader SDK is not supported in the sandbox environment, which can make it challenging to test and verify integrations, especially from regions where the SDK is not officially supported, like India. We’re constantly working to improve our features based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your request to the API product team.
