To design, style, and test a part on your website without creating transactions, generating emails, or communicating in any way with Blackbaud Services or The Raiser's Edge, select Test Mode on the Properties tab. For example, you can complete the fields on a donation form to ensure the confirmation page is styled and working properly. Although you submit the donation and receive a confirmation, a transaction does not appear on the NetCommunity page.
The Test Mode checkbox appears on the Payment, Donation Form, and Event Registration Form parts. Only users with supervisor rights can view parts in Test mode.
Note: Use Test mode to verify the user’s experience, not to test data processing. Test mode does not validate credit card numbers, merchant accounts, etc.
