Under General organisation settings, you can select This is a non-production environment when you want to test or disable specific functionality in an environment that is not available to website users and email recipients. When this checkbox is clear, your environment is live and set to Production.
Tip: This setting applies to each website you host, whether it is one site or multiple sites.
Currently, there are two features you can test in Production and Non-production environments. The following table lists the feature and what you can do in each environment. When more features become available to test in the Non-production environment, this table will update to include the latest information.

Secure payment template update organisation setting |
When you update Blackbaud secure payment pages from static to responsive pages, a copy of each page template is created for you to view and test in the Non-production environment. This avoids interruption on your live, Production site. For more information about this setting, refer to Secure payment page template update. |
