# Creating a Test Account

Before proceeding with API integration, the developer will need to register and set up a test account. In order to do that, the following actions are required:

* Register a test account by following this link: <https://business-sandbox.cryptopay.me/auth/signup>
* You will receive an "Email address confirmation" letter asking you to confirm your email address – click on the blue "Confirm your email" button, and you will be redirected to the account password creation page. Create a password and log in to your account
* Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA). This is a mandatory action. Once 2FA is enabled, you can use the security code 000000 to log in.
* Contact your Integration or Account Manager at Cryptopay to activate your test account and top up your test balances to be able to make test payments.<br>
