Hello, Here's the full process:
1. Create a new GMail account (or use an existing GMail account, but it's nice to keep things separate) 2. Make a getClientAccounts() call to the Sandbox with the following headers set: email: address of the GMail account password: password of the GMail account useragent: set to any identifying string developerToken: set to the value for email, with the string '+ +USD' (or the currency code of your choice) appended applicationToken: ignored, and could be set to anything or left out clientEmail: should be set either to the empty string or left out 2a. Making this call is what creates the 5 client accounts in the Sandbox's datastore. The accounts are named client_1+[email] through client_5+[email]. 3. For all future Sandbox calls, set the headers as mentioned in step 2, with one change: include a clientEmail header with the value set to client_n+[email], e.g. 'client_1+exam...@gmail.com'. Whenever the Sandbox's datastore is refreshed, the client accounts are wiped out and you'd need to start from step 2 to recreate them. Sandbox refreshes happen about once a month.
