Everything in the sandbox is self-serve. From the moment you sign in you can register a Card Program, point Facto at your hosted connect page, and open binding admission yourself. Facto operations only provisions the account and reviews production graduation — nothing in this walkthrough waits on a ticket.

The workspace re-authorizes ownership and environment on every call, so these steps grant no standing power: a sandbox program moves no real funds, and production admission always stays with Facto.

Walkthrough

Open Stablecoin Cards

Sign in and open Stablecoin Cards from the sidebar. The workspace is unlocked for your membership already — there is no access request to file.

Register a sandbox program

Enter a program code and a display name, then register. The program is created immediately with status: active and both admissions closed — no Facto approval step in sandbox.

Set your hosted connect page URL

Register the page Facto's cardholder popup may open. Facto navigates only to this exact URL. Use https://, or a loopback http://127.0.0.1 / http://localhost address while testing locally. Clearing the field removes it.

Open sandbox binding admission

New programs start with admission closed. Opening it is an explicit switch: acknowledge that no real funds move in sandbox, then confirm with your password (a recent re-entry is required). Authorization admission is never opened from this surface, and production admission stays with Facto.

Watch your sandbox from Home

Home is your sandbox at a glance — programs, open admissions, connect pages set, and team members. It reflects real server state, and it surfaces the single next step whenever one is outstanding.

What stays with Facto

Self-serve stops exactly where money and third parties begin:

  • Production — every production capability, including production admission, is a separate reviewed request. Sandbox self-serve never touches it.
  • The binding runtime — opening admission makes a program bindable; the program-scoped binding runtime is enabled separately per environment.
  • Reconciliation — settlement profiles and reconciliation cases live with the finance collaborator persona. Invite one from Team to review them.

Next

  • Connection flow — how the cardholder selects and approves cards on your connect page.
  • Cardholder binding — the program-scoped, opaque binding outcomes you can read back.
