Clear sandbox data?

API Support

Is there anyway to clear sandbox data? I read previous comments about this not being possible “by design.” Is there a channel to request this feature? Seems like a pretty important and necessary feature for a sandbox environment.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hey Andrew,
Currently, there is no feature available to delete all data from your Sandbox. We do, however, appreciate and take developer requests into consideration in our Sprint Planning.
To request features or view some work that we are doing as a response to community feedback, feel free to check out our Trello Board.

Hi Team, this Qs is from quite some time ago now, the trello link is dead to have this feature implemented. Is this something that is “actually” on the road map. For example, I have integration tests with Dwolla that uses common fixture data. Since emails & correlation ids are unique, not being able to reset/clear my sandbox is a pain at times.

Can you confirm if this is something that will be addressed via the sandbox UI? If not, are sandbox users able to request the support team to reset via an internal task?
Thanks & Best.

Hi @syngency team!

I’m afraid deleting Sandbox data isn’t something on our current roadmap due to federal law and applicable rules regarding the processing of financial transactions that require companies like Dwolla to maintain certain types of information in order to maintain the integrity of the financial system.

As for resetting Sandbox to start with a clean slate, we recommend creating a new Sandbox account which is free and using your new set of API credentials from that account.

Thanks!

Ok thanks for your response. Seems odd to me that you would be bound by law to store “dummy” transactions where funds were not transferred.

I’m assuming that “actual money” is not processed in a sandbox environment right???

Clearly not something that will be implemented so will take your advice in the creation of a new sandbox. I guess get ready for a large number of email+0001@domain.com ,email+0002@domain.com, email+0003@domain.com …

That’s correct, no actual money is moved in Sandbox. It just replicates whatever behaves the Production environment has.

That should work! Sorry for the inconvenience!
