Get a Sandbox API Key

Contact your Benbase representative for a Sandbox API key (prefixed sandbox_sk_). See Authentication for details on key types and base URLs.

Render the Employer Flow

Call the Employer Flow endpoint using QUICKSTART as the employer ID — this is a built-in test employer that lets you explore the flow without setting up real data.

curl -X POST https://embed-sandbox.benbase.com/api/flows/employer \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-sandbox-key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "employer_id": "QUICKSTART", "employer_name": "QUICKSTART" }'

Embed the returned URL in an iframe. You should see the Benbase Employer Flow UI — this is where employers manage their benefits plans.

Render the Employee Flow

Call the Employee Flow endpoint using the same QUICKSTART employer ID:

curl -X POST https://embed-sandbox.benbase.com/api/flows/employee \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-sandbox-key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "employer_id": "QUICKSTART", "employee_id": "QUICKSTART" }'

Embed the returned URL. You should see the Employee Flow UI — this is where employees enroll in benefits.
