# Testing split payouts

> End-to-end testing for Dintero Split Payout (seller creation, sessions, payout, and settlement) using sandbox bank accounts and approval values.

Testing split payouts involves testing multiple steps:

* Seller Creation
* Session creation
* Payout and Settlement

## Seller creation

To create sellers in Sandbox, go to **Settings** → **Sellers**, select **Test** and click **Add Seller**.

* In the **Organization number** field, put the organization number of the seller you want to test.
* In the **Seller ID** field, put any value that would represent the seller in your system. It can be anything, but it needs to be unique.

For automatic approval, check **Fast-track seller status** and select **Automatic approval** from the dropdown.

After clicking continue, you will reach this screen:

The seller will then be approved automatically within a few minutes.

### Testing with the API

It's of course possible to test sellers with the API as well. Follow this [guide](/docs/checkout/split-payment/add-payout-destinations.md#onboarding-your-merchants-through-the-api), and make sure to use the account id with a T-prefix.

Use a bank account from [Test bank accounts](/docs/checkout/testdata/approvals/bank-accounts.md).

For testing purposes you can also auto-approve, decline, or leave a new seller awaiting signature by adding magic values to `payout_destination_description`. See [Auto-approve sellers](/docs/checkout/testdata/approvals/auto-approve.md).

## Session creation

Sessions can be created with the T-prefixed account as shown in [Creating Split Sessions](/docs/checkout/split-payment/creating-split-session.md).

You can put a `payout_destination_id` created above in the split items, but any other value is also valid here.

## Payout and settlement

These are not available in the sandbox environment, as it is a complicated process involving payment providers and
banks.

As long as the seller exists and the session is created correctly, payouts and settlements are tested to
work.
