Once you’ve obtained sandbox API keys from Affirm, you can enter the 3 keys (public, private, financial product) into your Spark Pay online store Apps & Addons dashboard for Affirm. (Tools > Apps & Addons) Make sure to check the "Use Sandbox” option when using your Affirm sandbox API keys.
When you have added your sandbox API keys through the dashboard, it is important to try a test transaction with Affirm to verify that it’s working properly on your site.
You can test this by create a test order and select Affirm as your payment option and complete the Affirm payment flow. Once the Affirm payment is complete, check the order status to make sure it’s been processed and then test refunding the order.
Note: The Affirm sandbox does not create a real account so you can enter fake personal information on the create account screen. The Affirm sandbox also does not send text messages or emails so you can always use the security pin 1234 when logging in.

You may wish to put promotional Affirm banners on your site. Common places would be on the product page or on the shopping cart.

To go live, simply substitute your production API keys for the sandbox keys and uncheck the “Use Sandbox” option.
