Choosing between Test and Production modes
The choice between TEST or PRODUCTION modes can be made using the vads_ctx_mode field (See chapter Generating a payment form).
- The TEST mode allows to make test payments.
It is available at all times, even after the generation of the production key.
If you create a new merchant website (or have access to the acceptance testing environment), you can make tests without impacting the website that is currently in production.TEST transactions can be viewed in the Expert Back Office via Management > TEST transactions.
- The PRODUCTION mode will become available only once the production key has been generated.
It allows to make real payments.
PRODUCTION transactions can be viewed in the Expert Back Office via Management > Transactions.
