Test and Go Live with Donation Forms

After you configure and save an Online Giving form, test it before you make it live. Testing lets you review the form experience, catch issues, and confirm the form behaves as expected — without creating real records or processing live transactions.

All donation forms start in test mode by default, and use Transaction processing on the Payments and fees tab to test or accept gifts. When you're ready to accept real donations, select Start processing donations. For step-by-step instructions, see Test and Go Live with Donation Forms.

Note: After you go live, you can't return a form to test mode.
