Test orders

The sandbox can create realistic orders on a test location, so you can exercise your whole flow, webhooks included:

curl -X POST https://sandbox.partners.loops.sa/v1/sandbox/orders \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Loops-Merchant-Id: mer_7Hq2Lw8Z" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "location_id": "loc_2Xf9K" }'

Going to production

Before Loops issues production credentials, we review your integration against a short checklist. Your integration:

• gets tokens and renews them when they expire;
• sends Loops-Merchant-Id and handles revoked connections;
• verifies webhook signatures;
• ignores duplicate and out-of-order events;
• catches up through the Events API after downtime;
• backs off on 429, using Retry-After;
• ignores unknown fields and enum values;
• logs Loops-Request-Id.
