# Environments

### Environments <a href="#environments" id="environments"></a>

Optty provides both a sandbox testing environment and a production environment for merchants and partners to use. The sandbox environment is connected to live sandbox environments of other payment methods and are not simulated to provide a realistic testing environment. No payment will be taken, however sandbox accounts and testing credentials for each payment method should be utilised.
