Note: No test data setup is required once Sandbox keys are downloaded. You can refer to the [Integration and Testing](https://developer.mastercard.com/traditional-fulfillment-service/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/api-testing-tutorial/index.md) section for testing the Traditional Fulfillment APIs.

## Generate Encryption Key {#generate-encryption-key}

1. After the sandbox key is downloaded, the client encryption keys are auto-generated. The client encryption keys will be used to encrypt the request.
2. Click **Next** to generate a 2048-bit key pair that will be used for the Loyalty Management API calls. ![](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/traditional-fulfillment-service/uploads/client-encryption.png)
3. Click **Confirm** and **Continue** to proceed. ![](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/traditional-fulfillment-service/uploads/Sandbox_encryption_key_ss.png)
4. After confirmation, you will receive an email confirming the provisioning request and keys.

## Provide information to Mastercard Product Delivery or CIS Implementation manager {#provide-information-to-mastercard-product-delivery-or-cis-implementation-manager}

Once you have the consumer key, provide it to your Mastercard Product Delivery or Customer Implementation Services Implementation Manager (CIS IM).
To complete this, perform the following steps:

1. From the Mastercard Developers project summary page, go to the Sandbox Keys section, click on the **Actions** dropdown button, and select the **Copy Consumer key** option.
2. Paste the Client ID value into an e-mail and send it to your Product delivery or CIS IM. The first 48 characters of this key value (up to the exclamation point) will be the Mastercard API Client ID, which will be used for the Sandbox environment. An example of the key value, with Client ID represented in bold **6Fmo7rEvHmVFTrv73a0m6qfUExPxMzOdY5Rs32KI09979c7f**!aea8847fa4b84b9886143a40ac117aee0000000000000000.
3. Once the CIS team adds the Client ID you would be able to test the APIs.

## Ready to Test in Sandbox {#ready-to-test-in-sandbox}

You now have everything you need to start sending Traditional Fulfillment Service requests to the Sandbox! It is recommended to test the full functionality of the Traditional Fulfillment Service in the Sandbox environment.
