■ New — Partner Sandbox

Let your partners prove their integration works — before they ever touch your real API.

Spin up an isolated sandbox per partner, with live documentation, in-browser testing, and a scoped token — so onboarding never means exposing production before it's ready.

Partner onboarding today, without a dedicated sandbox

Partners either test directly against production, or your team burns hours hand-building a fake environment
No visibility into what a given partner is actually calling, with what payload, how often
No way to revoke one partner's access without affecting the others
Every new integration partner means another round of "what's the exact request shape?" over email or Slack
No record that the integration was actually validated before go-live

With Partner Sandbox

Each partner gets their own token and dedicated portal — production stays untouched
Live docs: partners read, test, and emulate calls in the same screen
Advanced, per-partner request logs, fully isolated from other partners
Revoke access per token, with zero impact on other partners
When the simulated contract checks out, switching to the real API is your team's deliberate call — not a guess

How it works

Your company gets its own subdomain

yourcompany.httpdrop.com — a portal with documentation for the APIs your team has built.

Activate a sandbox

Each sandbox is an isolated simulation environment. Create as many as you need — one per partner, one per project, one per product line.

Each partner gets a scoped token, unique to that sandbox.

Partners access the portal with their own token

They see their own company name, a dashboard of requests they've made, live docs with a built-in "try it now," a detailed logs tab, and a button to download the full openapi.yaml.

Every request is billed to your account

Partner usage counts against your plan — no separate accounts, no per-partner surcharge.

Once validated, the switch is your call

The sandbox proves the partner knows how to consume the API correctly. Moving them to the production endpoint happens when you decide — not before.

What Partner Sandbox actually is

Contract validation: partners prove they send and parse data in the correct shape
Stateful simulation: sequences like login → token → confirmation behave consistently across calls, not as disconnected fixed responses
Per-partner isolated environment, with history and billing consolidated under the owning company's account

What it isn't

Not a load test or a simulation of your real production backend's business behavior
Not a replacement for a staging environment with real data and business rules — it validates shape, not full business logic

Use cases

Banks and fintechs

Opening up integrations to external partners (TPPs, correspondent banks, ISVs) — common in partner onboarding programs that need scoped access and live docs.

Marketplaces

Onboarding sellers or integrators who'll consume your catalog, order, or payments API.

B2B SaaS companies

With a technical partner program that needs to certify integrations before production access.

FAQ

Can one partner see another partner's data?

No. Each token is scoped to a single sandbox and a single partner. Full isolation.

Does this replace our staging environment?

Not necessarily — it covers the step before that: proving a partner knows how to call your API, before granting access to real data and business rules.

What does it cost per partner?

Check our plans — additional sandboxes and partners are part of the Team/Scale plans.
