Sandbox setup

The Orion API is sandbox only. Requests use simulated providers and never move money. Live keys cannot be created.

1. Create a sandbox merchant account at /signup (fictional details only), or use the demo account.
2. Get a provider connection. Orion staff create and activate a sandbox connection after reviewing your application. Without one, checkout requests return no_active_connection.
3. Approve a website. Return URLs must be on a website approved for your connection.
4. Create a test key under Portal → Integrations. It is shown once.
5. Add a webhook endpoint (the built-in sandbox receiver is easiest).
6. Make your first request — see Checkout sessions.
