Bango Music is a Bango-operated test Content Provider available in DVM Sandbox. It acts as a mock Content Provider so a Reseller can test and self-certify its DVM integration before the intended Content Provider needs to participate.

How Bango Music fits into testing

Bango Music acts as the Content Provider side of a two-party self-certification test:
This lets you prove the Reseller-side API integration and lifecycle handling independently before moving to three-party testing.

What you can test

Use Bango Music to validate subscription lifecycle flows such as:
  1. Discover the Bango Music Product and Offer configured for you.
  2. Create a Consumer Offer.
  3. Confirm DVM creates the related Entitlement.
  4. Retrieve activation information.
  5. Open the activation URL.
  6. Let Bango Music complete the simulated Content Provider activation.
  7. Confirm the Entitlement reaches the expected active state.
  8. Exercise other lifecycle actions required by your certification plan, such as cancellation, suspension, or resume where applicable.
  9. Verify the resulting API state, notifications, Dashboard, and Care records.
The exact Offer configuration and certification cases available to your Partner can vary. Retrieve the current configuration from your Sandbox catalog and follow the test plan provided for your integration.

How activation works

For Bango Music, DVM returns activation information after the Consumer Offer and Entitlement have been created. Open the activation URL returned by DVM. Bango Music handles the test Content Provider side of the activation flow and DVM updates the Entitlement state as the flow completes.
The quick start bundle provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the basic Bango Music flow.

Bango Music or mock response headers?

Use Bango Music when you need to exercise the Content Provider side of an entitlement flow, including outbound DVM connectivity and activation behavior. For deterministic response testing on the Reseller-to-DVM Entitlement API only, use Mock response headers. These let you force specific downstream outcomes without calling Bango Music or another Content Provider. Bango Music can also be configured by Bango for specific certification scenarios. If a certification case requires particular test-service behavior or a Content Provider-initiated action, follow the test plan supplied by Bango.

Use your Sandbox configuration

Always use the Product, Offer, and identifiers returned by your current Sandbox configuration. Do not copy Product keys, merchant account keys, or other identifiers from legacy documentation. Those values belong to previous API models and may not match your current DVM setup.

What Bango Music proves

Bango Music helps prove that your Reseller integration can interact correctly with DVM across the required subscription lifecycle. Bango reviews the required self-certification results before the integration progresses toward production. Bango Music does not prove the behavior of the intended live Content Provider partnership. Complete three-party Sandbox testing to validate the partnership end to end.
