# Simulate merchant deposit creation

`POST /v1/merchants/{merchant_id}/simulate_deposit`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.sandbox.rainforestpay.com`
- URL: `https://api.sandbox.rainforestpay.com/v1/merchants/{merchant_id}/simulate_deposit`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Only available in the Rainforest sandbox environment.

Simulate processing a deposit on a merchant. Any payins or refunds with the status of `PROCESSING` will be transitioned to the status of `SUCCEEDED`.

The expected webhooks will be sent for all payins and refunds while the deposit is processing. The `deposit.processing` webhook will be sent when the deposit has been processed and the deposit status is `PROCESSING`.

On a merchant with a Daily Net billing configuration, a deposit will be processed with an amount that corresponds to the payment activity, less any applicable fees.

On a merchant with a Daily Gross billing configuration, two deposits will be processed:
  1. A funding deposit with an amount that corresponds to the gross amount of the payment activity.
  2. A billing deposit with an amount that corresponds to the applicable billing fees of the payment activity.

On a merchant with a Monthly Gross billing configuration, only the funding deposit will be processed with an amount that corresponds to the gross amount of the payment activity.
