Overview
To test payout flows in the sandbox, your account needs a balance to fund them. Since no real money moves in the sandbox environment, you can simulate an incoming collect to generate a dummy balance in your test account. Once the simulated collect settles, the credited amount becomes available in your balance and can be used to fund payout requests — letting you test the complete flow from receiving funds to disbursing them.How to Simulate a Balance Top-up
