test the Billing API

Hello guys,
How can I test the Billing Api Before App Approval (before the request for review and going live on the Shopify store)? Thanks!

For testing purposes you can include "test": true when creating the charge. This prevents the credit card from being charged. Test shops and demo shops can't be charged.

When going live, change it to

"test": null

@SteveTT  Thank you! Does it also work for Subscription charges (recurring)?

If you mean this

(which I think you do ...), yes it works too.

Even if you get the flag incorrect:

Test shops and demo shops cannot be charged.

but I'm not responsible if you get charged 😉
