Using Development Company

A development company allows users to perform all the actions and configurations available in a managed account, but within a testing environment. With a development company, users can create products, set up brands, configure payments, and test various platform features without affecting any live data or processes. This environment is ideal for testing integrations, making customizations, and installing extensions before deploying them in a live environment.

In the development company, users can also install extensions from other partner organizations. Whether the extension is public or private, development company users have full access to install and test these extensions. For private extensions, specific company IDs can be added as subscribers, allowing those companies, even if they belong to different development companies, to install the extension.
