Create Developer Account

Sign Up for access to the Sandbox environment.

To create an account you will need an email address, the business name and country of incorporation, as well as a way to create a passkey using a compatible device.

Sandbox developer accounts are usually approved in less than one business day and take under an hour to create and onboard.

➊ Sign Up in Sandbox

Before you begin, ensure you are able to create and store a passkey on your device. All modern operating systems and browsers support passkeys.

Questions about passkeys? Contact your IT organization for help. We recommend saving and using passkeys with iCloud Keychain, Windows Hello, Google Account, 1Password, Proton Pass or other third-party password manager that enables passkey synchronization across devices.

1. Go to https://dashboard.sandbox.paxos.com, select Sign Up and provide a name and email address to create an Institutional (Business) account. Individual account holders are not eligible for API access via the Dashboard.
2. Retrieve the verification code from the welcome email from Paxos and enter the code in the browser. If you don't get an email within a few minutes, check email filters and Spam/Junk folders for an email from @paxos.com. Contact Support if the email never arrives.
3. Create a passkey.

4. Provide basic business information. The Country of Incorporation and What do you plan to use your account for? fields determine which assets you will have access to.

➋ Onboard Developer Account

Use stubbed (fake) content to go through the first seven onboarding steps. The information provided will not be used when creating the production account.

1. Business Details. Selecting Corporation as the institution type provides the quickest experience. The country field is pre-populated with the information you provided when creating the account.
2. Funding Details. Select No for the trust structure and nominee shareholder options.
3. Suitability Assessment. Select Yes and Advanced for the first two options.

   Not all jurisdictions require this onboarding step.

4. Business Members. Open the edit dialog for the name you gave during account creation and provide the required fields. You can use fake (dummy) text.
   • Benificial Owner Designation. Ensure Yes is selected. Give information. The % ot Ownership should be 100.
   • For Authorized User Designation, Persons with Management Control Designation and Director Designation, select Yes.
5. Accept the Terms & Conditions and Pricing & Fees then complete Review & Verify.

Stop the onboarding process. Do not upload documents and go through ID verification.

➌ Contact Support

Support must activate your Developer account before you can use it. To ensure a smooth process, include your email address and business (organization) name when submitting a request.

You will receive an email from support confirming your Developer Sandbox account is good to go.

Occasionally, Support may reach out to you via email requesting additional information or if there is an issue creating the account.

➍ Enable Developer Access

Once the account is activated, you are assigned the Entity Manager role by default. However, this role does not have write access to Admin > API, where credentials are configured. You will need to add the Developer role to your user.

1. Go to Admin > Team Management > Users.
2. Under the Actions column, open the Edit Status dropdown and select Edit Roles.
3. Click in the Edit Roles form and select Developer.
4. Log out and sign in to start a new session.

Once your user has the Developer role, you can create API credentials.
