# Sandbox Order Creation
When creating an order via the API, isSandbox defaults to 0, which means a normal order. Pass isSandbox=1 to create a sandbox order. Sandbox order features:
- Uses a fake/simulated payment process and does not deduct real balance
- No real logistics or fulfillment will be generated
- Order query APIs will return the
isSandboxfield to identify the order type - Sandbox simulate pay and sandbox update status APIs only support orders created with
isSandbox=1
