Unable to retrieve authorization code

I created a sandbox account and tried to get AUTHORIZE_CODE but could not.
Following is the link:
https://squareup.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=sandbox-sq0idb-iL_RUhdQOtzprJyfdUHdXw

The document followed: https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/oauth-api/authorize#query__property-client_id

Hi @dila, welcome to the forums!

It looks like you are using a production url with a sandbox application id, which will not work. You should use squareupsandbox.com... instead of squareup.com.... So I think this URL should work:

https://squareupsandbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=sandbox-sq0idb-iL_RUhdQOtzprJyfdUHdXw

Let me know if that helps or if you have additional questions.

now it says :slight_smile:

To start the OAuth flow for a sandbox account, first launch the seller test account from the Developer Dashboard. (Few days ago i was able to launch the seller test account, but now i do not find to do the same)

You do need to launch the Sandbox Seller Dashboard first, which can be found on this page: https://developer.squareup.com/apps at the bottom under Sandbox Test Accounts, you need to click “Open” and leave it open; in another tab, try the OAuth link again.
