Test merchant accounts allow you to simulate merchant interactions with your application. This includes installing your app, assigning permissions, and then testing all the features of your app. When you sign up to create your production developer account, you can create a test merchant after entering your developer account information. Test merchants on production environment are not billed.

Create your first test merchant

When you login to the production environment based on your merchant's location, you can create your first test merchant. You can edit this information later and create additional test merchants in the Merchant Dashboard.

1. Complete steps to create a production developer account.
2. On the Create your Test Merchant page, enter test merchant information:

3. Click Create Account. The production Developer Dashboard appears.

From here, you can:

• Create additional test merchants in different regions.
• Create an app.

Create additional test merchants

You can:

• Create additional test merchants for each region where you want to make your app.
• Add test merchants with different settings to simulate the effects of regions, time zones, currencies, or permissions.
• Process test transactions using the correct payment gateway for a region. A specific payment gateway is configured based on the address you enter for your test merchant. For example, if you are a developer who wants to create an app for use in Canada, create your test merchant using a Canadian address.

To create additional test merchants:

1. Log in to the production Developer Dashboard.
2. From the Dashboard drop-down menu, under Developer Account, click Create test location. The Create your Test Merchant page appears.
3. Complete the information in the fields. For field descriptions, see Create your first merchant.
4. Click Create Account. The Merchant Dashboard for the test merchant appears.
5. On the Merchant Dashboard, you can complete the steps to set up your merchant account, such as:

• Update business details
• Add employees
• Set up taxes
• Build an inventory
