Click on the right tab "Variables"

Under "Current Value"

  1. For key "auth_header", enter your "reseller" followed by a space followed by your Sandbox reseller key
  2. For key "merchant_id", enter your test sandbox merchant id

The collection contains all endpoints that should be relevant to a ISV implementing the Payments API.

Some collection requests and folders have tests that set variables after calls are made. You can also set the variables manually to values using environment or collection level variables.
