# Wallet Funding

It is essential to fund your wallet before proceeding to book a shipment. This step is crucial in both the Sandbox and Production environments. Ensuring that your wallet has sufficient funds is necessary to successfully complete the booking process and avoid any disruptions. This requirement helps maintain smooth operation and effective management of shipping transactions.

Fund Wallet Steps.

The process is quite straightforward. Begin by entering the amount you wish to fund (ideally, over 5000). A Flutterwave payment screen will then appear, allowing you to select your preferred payment method and complete the transaction. Upon successful payment, your SHiiP wallet will be securely credited with the specified amount, enabling you to proceed with booking shipments.

On Sandbox, you can use the first test card [here](https://developer.flutterwave.com/docs/integration-guides/testing-helpers/)., to complete the transaction.
