    Complete guide to integrating cryptocurrency payments with QBitFlow

    Test Mode: Try Before You Go Live

    Before accepting real payments, you can test the entire QBitFlow payment flow for free using test networks. No real money involved—just safe, risk-free experimentation.

    What is Test Mode?

    Test mode lets you run through the complete payment process—creating products, generating links, and processing transactions—using fake cryptocurrency on test networks. It's like a sandbox where you can experiment without any financial risk.

    6. Key Terms Explained

    Test Network (Testnet)

    A separate blockchain environment that works exactly like the real network, but uses fake cryptocurrency with zero real value. Perfect for testing.

    Faucet

    A free service that gives you test tokens. Think of it as a free dispenser— you paste your wallet address and claim free test crypto instantly.

    Test Tokens

    Fake cryptocurrency used on test networks. They have zero real value and are only useful for testing. You can't sell or trade them.

    Mainnet

    The real blockchain network where actual cryptocurrency transactions happen. This is where real money changes hands.

    Why Test Mode Matters
    • ✓Zero Risk: No real money involved—experiment freely
    • ✓Full Experience: Test the complete payment flow end-to-end
    • ✓Confidence: Know exactly how your customers will experience payments
    • ✓Integration Testing: Verify your setup before going live
    Ready to Go Live?

    Once you're confident with test mode, switch to Mainnet in your dashboard settings. Your products and wallets will be ready to accept real payments immediately.

    💡 Pro Tip: Keep your test products separate from live products so you can continue testing without affecting real transactions.
