# Sandbox Subscriptions

> Create a Sandbox environment to test integrations without real devices.

<Info>
  The Sandbox is currently only available for vehicles. Support for all other
  device types will be added soon.
</Info>

When adding a new subscription in the Partner Portal, you can choose between two subscription types: **Live** and **Sandbox**. This allows you to set up a dedicated test environment before going into production.

## Subscription Types

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Sandbox" icon="flask">
    A safe test environment for experimenting with integrations using virtual
    devices. Use this to test your integration.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Live" icon="signal">
    Environment where you connect to actual devices. Use this mode for
    production or testing with real devices.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Creating a Sandbox Subscription

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Subscriptions">
    In the Partner Portal, go to the subscription management section and click
    on **Add Subscription**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Subscription Type">
    Choose between **Live** and **Sandbox** as the subscription type.

    <Note>
      Select **Sandbox** if you want to test your integration in a safe
      environment with virtual devices. Select **Live** when you are ready to
      connect to real devices.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete Setup">
    Fill in the remaining subscription details and confirm. Your new Sandbox
    subscription will be ready to use immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can have both Sandbox and Live subscriptions active at the same time. This
  lets you develop and test new features in the Sandbox while your production
  integration continues to run on the Live subscription.
