# Customized Developer Sandboxes for Different Business Types

We’ve enhanced the Finix Sandbox to provide tailored testing experiences for different types of businesses. This latest release adds specialized sandbox environments for different business types, including Software Platforms, Online Marketplaces and Direct Merchants. Now, when a user signs up for a Sandbox account, they will select their business type and be taken to a Finix Sandbox dashboard designed specifically for the business type they selected.

The Finix Sandbox allows users to easily sign up for an account via our website and explore the Finix dashboard and simulate what their live production experience would be - including accepting test payment transactions, simulating merchant payouts, and building test integrations with Finix, all before applying for a live production account.
