Important

• To successfully test the Katapult flow in Affirm's sandbox environment, enter a new identity (name, phone number, address, etc.) every time you go through the checkout flow.
• If you get declined once, you may continue to get Katapult declined due to browser cookie caching. We recommend clearing your browser cookies / cache (or use Incognito browser window) before each test.
