We’re introducing support for connecting your non-production environments directly to Stripe Sandbox accounts.

While Stigg has always supported Stripe's Test Mode, Sandboxes offer a "new flavor" of testing environment with distinct capabilities, providing greater isolation and flexibility for your billing workflows.

🆕 What’s New

You can now connect Stigg directly to a Stripe Sandbox, unlocking advanced testing capabilities that go beyond standard Test Mode.

• Distinct from Test Mode: Sandboxes are separate environments that allow you to isolate settings completely from your live integration. Unlike Test Mode, where some settings are shared with Live Mode, Sandboxes ensure total separation.
• Enhanced Flexibility: Leverage Stripe’s Sandbox capabilities such as creating up to five separate environments, granular access control for team members, and independent setting configurations.

For a deep dive into the differences between Test Mode and Sandboxes, check out Stripe’s documentation.

💡 Why This Matters

• True Isolation: Eliminate the risk of accidental changes to production. Since Sandboxes don't share settings with Live Mode, you can test complex pricing models and billing flows without fear of "leaking" configuration changes.
• Better Staging Parity: Mirror your production setup more accurately by copying settings from live mode at creation time, then testing independently.
• Granular Access: Invite developers or QA members specifically to a Sandbox environment without granting them permissions to your live Stripe account.
