Is it possible to have a test url in the shopify partner admin panel
such that app developers can use it to test their apps privately. My
thinking is this will be available to only test shops created by the
app developers. Reading through the forum, I have seen something like
'faking authentication gem' for Ruby. Do we have the PHP equivalent or
could someone show me how to test my app for new changes without
affecting existing users.

For instance, I want to make some to webhooks implementation but that
would affect people who already have them installed and are having
them fired. But if I had a test URL, that would come in handy.

Sorry if there is an easy way to do this or if it has been dealt with
in the forum. Any answer from the shopify developers would be
appreciated.

Blaise

Hey Blaise,

We recommend creating a second set of API credentials and using those to test experimental features. This allows you to completely separate your test and production environments.
