Hi RSS-Artie!

Welcome to our chat!

I love pretending the sandbox money is real money! When I first came to work at PayPal, they gave us accounts in a staging environment used back then for training. We each got some "USD", and we were supposed to be practicing different ways to send and receive payments. The first thing I did was figure out how to do a currency conversion, because I wanted to see my balance in Yen. It looked like SO MUCH MORE. 🙂

Hi RSS-Artie,

It sounds like you're enjoying yourself in Sandbox It's a great tool, I use it all the time to see checkout flows for various countries and languages, or to test functionality of different processes for our customers.  It definitely comes in handy!

Yes, its very fun to play around with, and great for testing anything I code before I put it live.
