A "Test", or "Sandbox" is used in order to simulate the provisioning workflows without incurring any costs to the vendor. Typically, Google does not offer a "sandbox environments" for Google Workspace Services, however, you can create a "Test Reseller Account" which requires the manual conversion of a "normal/standard" account to a "test" account, by Google.

On this page, you can view the process that needs to be followed before Google creates a Test Reseller Account.

Please note that interworks.cloud is not responsible for any of the steps displayed here nor should interworks.cloud be expected to undertake or facilitate any steps shown on this page or any steps not mentioned on this page, but related to the process. We are only offering a general overview of the process, to facilitate the transition to the Google Workspace automated delivery model through our platform. Since this process is solely dependent upon actions/procedures set by Google, it may be subject to change without warning. Ultimately, the only responsible person for undertaking the process and/or any communication with Google is the Google Reseller himself!


Creating a New Account

As an existing Google Partner/Reseller you need to sign up for a NEW direct trial account. Then Google can convert this to a test reseller account.

  • Register a new account here: https://www.google.com/a/signup.
  • Do not set up billing for this account.
  • The domain you select for the trial account must adhere to the following naming conventions:
    • The Domain must start with “goog-test.”
    • The Domain must contain your non-test reseller domain name.


For example, if the main account is reseller.domain.com:

The test reseller domain could be:

Important: Domain verification is required. Make sure DNS settings are accessible.

Once you have done so, you need to OPEN A SUPPORT TICKET via the Reseller portal:

… (or send an email to Google Partner Support at pps-support@google.com), asking Google Support to convert this new account (you need to specify the test domain) to a Test Reseller Account.
