If we want to migrate all 3 of our development environments (Demo, Dev, Local) to Sandboxes and take on our Production settings, would the best practice be to create 3 Sandboxes on the Stripe-Production environment?

hello! working on a different thread but i'll be back here ASAP

old haven
#

Right on, thank you!

#

Some additional context:

Our production account has many "hidden" flags for beta functionality and negotiated behavior. Under our current environment setup, our development envs are often missing these flags. However, support said that Sandboxes would be a good remedy to this

hard wasp
#

ok, the short answer is yes, creating the sandboxes on your live mode account would be the way

old haven
#

Ok sweet, that answers my most pressing questions 🙌

And to keep things simple to begin with, can I set them to live-follow the Live environments changes without needing to update each by hand after the intial creation?

hard wasp
#

hmmm the answer to that might depend on what changes you're talking about, but i think in general the answer is no

#

do you have example changes in mind to help narrow the scope of my research?

old haven
#

Two that come to mind:

  • Changes in payment method configurations
  • Changes to some of the "hidden" account flags
hard wasp
#

for example if you were to change payment method configurations in live mode, that would not change your sandbox mode

#

ok, good to know we're thinking along the same lines hahahaha

old haven
#

Got it!

So the initial creation can be a 1-on-1 clone of settings but further changes will need to be by hand?

hard wasp
#

regarding those hidden flags, i would just communicate to whoever you're working with that you would like whatever you're changing to apply to both accounts

old haven
#

Ok dope, sounds good

And final question, is there anyway to outright migrate the existing Test Mode envs to Sandboxes? As in, retain all of the payment data, customer data, and (ideally) API keys along the way?

Oh word, that "sync" statement is exactly what I was looking for

hard wasp
#

i am not aware of a way to migrate existing accounts, but that specific question does go beyond my area of expertise so it might be worth running by our support team to see if they know of a way

#

i suspect the answer is no but doesn't hurt asking

old haven

Ok awesome, thanks for all the help here!
