# Testing Hercules Commerce

> Test Hercules Commerce in preview or on a published app. Production-only; test with real card then refund.

### How do I test Hercules Commerce?

You can test most features of Hercules Commerce inside the Hercules App Editor preview. However, if you want to test the checkout flow, you currently have to publish your app, open it in a separate tab, then test.

### Can I test payments without using my real card?

No. Hercules Commerce is currently production-only. Our recommendation is to test with your own card and then immediately refund yourself.

We are releasing "test mode" with the ability to use a dummy credit card very soon.
