sandbox If your CLI isn't logged into Stripe, this command provisions a new sandbox with working test API keys, without requiring an account. This enables you, a coding agent, or an automated workflow to start building a Stripe integration immediately. Your temporary sandbox credentials are saved to your CLI profile so that other commands work without needing to log in. You can convert a sandbox into a full Stripe account within seven days with the sandbox claim command. If you're already logged in, sandbox create opens the sandbox management page in your Stripe Dashboard. > Sandbox environments expire after 7 days. Claim your sandbox before it expires by running stripe sandbox claim to keep your account and data. Command: `stripe sandbox
