Make the card part of a controlled workflow. Name its purpose, set a limit and see its state alongside the transactions it produces.

01 / A defined limit
Start with a purpose.
Set the ceiling.
Give a sandbox card a recognizable label and an explicit spending limit. Keep the amount beside the card, so the boundary is part of the workflow rather than a note elsewhere.

Active is a state.
Not an assumption.
Inspect and update active, inactive or canceled cards in the company workspace. Revision checks keep changes attached to the card state you reviewed.

Follow the card
into the record.
Review sandbox authorizations, captures and refunds with the card’s transactions. Inspect the amount, currency and status without treating a request as a settled charge.
Simulated authorization and transaction data · no live fundsFrom a scene to your workflow
Build with a boundary.
Keep the result.
Start in the sandbox workspace. Use the documentation to connect your application, preserve operation identifiers and inspect each returned status.
- 01Open your company workspace
Keep the company and customer context explicit.
- 02Connect the documented flow
Use the configured credentials and supported operations.
- 03Inspect the returned result
A request, an approval and a payment are separate facts.
A few useful distinctions
Issuing, clearly.
Are these live issued cards?
The scenes and workspace examples shown here use sandbox cards and simulated authorizations. Live financial services require a supported provider and an eligible account.
What can the current workspace control?
A sandbox card has a label, a spending limit and an active, inactive or canceled state. The workspace also exposes sandbox transactions and authorization simulation.
Does approving a request settle a transaction?
No. Authorization, capture and refund are distinct events. Inspect their returned statuses rather than inferring a charge from the card’s appearance.
