Spritz provides a sandbox so you can exercise the full money-movement lifecycle (onboarding, conversion, settlement, cards) against simulated rails, without moving real funds.

Base URL

The sandbox is a separate environment with its own base URL and its own credentials:
Use your sandbox integrator credentials here, exactly as you would in production. When you’re ready to go live, switch the base URL to https://platform.spritz.finance and swap in your production credentials.

Skipping identity verification

Real users must complete identity verification before they can move money. In the sandbox you can skip it to keep test flows fast:
Exactly one of country or failed: true is required. An empty body is a 400 — there is no default.

Capability groups

country selects a capability group: the set of offerings a verified user gets. It is not an ISO country code. EU is the EEA as a whole, because every member state sees the same offerings — passing a real country code like DE or ES is rejected with a 400. A 501 means the group is real but sandbox cannot simulate it yet; it is distinct from the 400 an unrecognised value gets, and it is not worth retrying. Every group still leaves requirements to satisfy before money can move — terms acceptance, and regional compliance in the EEA. Read GET /v1/users/me after the bypass to see each capability’s status and outstanding requirements, and GET /v1/on-ramps/supported-pairs for the rail, network and token combinations the group can actually use.
Sandbox-only endpoints return 403 in production. Don’t build production flows that depend on them.

Simulating the rails

The sandbox also lets you drive the parts of a flow that normally depend on banks and networks, so you can test the unhappy paths on purpose:
  • ACH returns: POST /v1/sandbox/deposits/direct creates a direct deposit with an armed ACH return, so you can verify your achDebitReturn.* webhook handling.
  • Bill activation and verification: the /v1/sandbox/bills/* endpoints simulate bill activation and verification challenges.
  • Teardown: DELETE /v1/sandbox/funding-sources/{fundingSourceId} removes a funding source so you can re-run a flow from a clean state.
See the API Reference for the full set of sandbox endpoints and their request shapes.

Going to production

1

Swap the base URL

Point requests at https://platform.spritz.finance.
2

Use production credentials

Sandbox and production credentials are separate. Move your production integrator key and secret into your secrets manager.
3

Run real verification

Remove any sandbox KYC bypass; real users complete identity verification before moving money.
