If you wish to test sending payments using the Payments API in Sandbox, this guide will help you set up a TronLink wallet that you can add test tokens to.
Steps

- The 'Networks' tab will open, click TRON Nile Testnet.
- You are now on the Nile TestNet, as shown by the 'TRON Nile Testnet' at the top.
Adding TRON to your wallet
- First you will need to add testnet Tron to your Tronlink. This is to activate your Tronlink account.
Head to https://nileex.io/join/getJoinPage > this is a faucet you can use to receive 2000 test Tron to your wallet.
Enter your tronlink wallet address.
Adding BVNK USDT TRC20
-
To add USDT TRC20 tokens to your TronLink wallet, you need to import the tokens created by BVNK by adding the smart contract to your wallet. Head to https://nile.tronscan.org/ and ensure your Tronlink wallet is connected.
Select "connect wallet" on the top right. -
Once your Tronlink wallet is connected, add this contract address to the search bar: TY1DBj7Ys1bDcK37kwATaQpHxdTCnYrr1f
-
You will see Token called LAYER1 - this is our BVNK test USDT token that can be used as USDT TRC20.
Select this token followed by "contract" and "write contract" -
After selecting "write contract" there will be a number of functions displayed.
Select MINT (number 4 on that list) and enter the amount of tokens you would like to receive.
I would recommend 50000 tokens.
Select Send. -
Once the transaction has gone through > open your Tronlink app and select the "+" next to "Assets"
-
Now select LAYER 1 from this list.
-
You now have BVNK LAYER 1 (USDT TRC20) Testnet tokens that can be used in transactions via API and the BVNK portal for both payments in and out.
