Paystack Sandbox

Initiate a payment with your SkyPay ssk_sand_ key and open its hosted checkout. Choose Paystack. SkyPay initializes the charge with its centrally managed Paystack test configuration and redirects the payer to Paystack's test checkout.

The merchant never sends a Paystack key to SkyPay and never receives one back.

Test payment

Use Paystack's documented test details only after the payer reaches the Paystack test page. For a reusable successful card, use 4084 0840 8408 4081, CVV 408, and any future expiry date. For a declined result, use 4084 0800 0000 5408, CVV 001, and any future expiry date.

Paystack maintains the complete and current list in its official test-payment documentation.

Card details belong only in the provider-hosted form. Do not send them to the SkyPay payment API, metadata, logs, or your own server.

Completion

Paystack redirects the payer back to SkyPay. SkyPay verifies the provider reference and also accepts signed events at the environment-specific inbound route. Your application receives the normal SkyPay event contract at its Sandbox webhook endpoint.

If Paystack is shown as unavailable, SkyPay will not substitute the simulator.
