Hi @walydeveloper,

 

The sandbox environment is designed to provide a general view and guide of the endpoint request and response structure. The data in the sandbox is preconfigured and covers a small set of possible requests. For the Merchant Locator endpoint https://sandbox.api.visa.com/merchantlocator/v1/locator, the supported test data can be found on the "Test Data" tab of your project.

Thanks for your reply. When I check the test data I only see one record. Is there a possibility of having more data so we can understand better and the response.Screen Shot 2021-12-10 at 1.56.20 PM.png

Hi @walydeveloper,

 

It looks like there is only one test scenario provided for now. I will share your feedback of having more test data with the product team for future enhancement.
