Can't connect to Sandbox

Check that your sandbox credentials are correct and that your device is connected to the WiFi Network. If the problem persists please contact us.

Is your reader connected to your network but not reaching the Braintree platform?

This can happen if your onsite network has a firewall that may be blocking communication from the Braintree platform endpoints to and from the reader. Please double-check that your network firewall is not blocking network traffic with the Braintree Endpoints. If you're still having issues try running our network diagnostics tool.

Having network connectivity issues?

As of version 5.1.0 we now support a network diagnostics tool that can be accessed from the reader admin menu. You can access the admin menu by pressing 2+8 on the number pad, then enter your admin menu password and press the Run Connection Test button to begin. This tool helps you identify where the breakdown in communication may be occurring on your network.
