With Shipmondo Sandbox, you can test your API integration, shipment bookings, prints, and other features in a closed test environment at no cost to you. When using the Shipmondo API, our sandbox allows you to confirm that your data is delivered correctly and that the booking has been successful.
How to Get Started with Shipmondo Sandbox
If you want to test your data in our sandbox, you need to send a request to our support team , providing the following information:
Name
Email address
Reason for wanting to use Shipmondo Sandbox
You will then receive an email from our customer service with login details, and you will be ready to test the Shipmondo API or Shipmondo Sandbox.

At the top of your Shipmondo account you can see it is a sandbox version.
Test: Booking Shipments
There is no limit to the number of shipments you can book. However, there is a limitation on which carriers you can choose when creating the shipment. Currently, you can choose from the largest and most commonly used carriers.
Our sandbox supports the following carriers:
Bring Denmark, Norway, Sweden
dao
DHL Freight Sweden, Denmark
DHL Parcel Germany
GLS Denmark
PostNord Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland
UPS
You can find your booked shipments under the menu Shipments > Booked in your sandbox Shipmondo account.
You can use our Print Client in the sandbox environment, allowing you to print shipping labels directly to your printer from your sandbox login. This way, you can test the entire flow, from creating a shipment to the automatic printing of your shipping label. In addition, file integration works via the Print Client.
When using the sandbox, please note the following:
The speed in the sandbox environment cannot be compared to the production API. Therefore, it cannot be used to test performance.
You cannot use payment cards in the sandbox, as all tests are free. In connection with creating a login for the Sandbox, you will receive fictitious money in your balance. When you book your shipments, you will be presented with a price, but you simply choose to use the balance as payment.
When you print your shipping label, it will be identical to the carrier you selected. However, all labels generated through the Sandbox will indicate that it is a test version: "SANDBOX - Do not use.
Test: Set up a return portal
With the sandbox, you can also test how your return portal will look in a test version.
When you set up a return portal in the sandbox, it will be available here: https://return-sandbox.shipmondo.com/<portal_name>
Test: Create personalized messages
With sandbox, you also have the option to set up personalized messages, whether you want to test booking shipments or shipments purchased through the return portal. Regardless of the information you enter in the recipient field, the account owner will receive the email or SMS.
This allows you to test the flow from ordering a shipment to sending a personalized message, without worrying about sending test emails og SMS’ to your customers.
Transitioning from Sandbox to Live
When you have tested that your data is delivered correctly in our sandbox, you are ready to switch to live. To do this, you need to change the URL in your API from https://sandbox.shipmondo.com to https://app.shipmondo.com and update the keys. You can find your API keys under Settings > API > Access.
