Hello! Nope, the test cards won't work in live mode. Equally, you shouldn't really 'test' in live mode with real payment data

So in our case where we're not in a position to switch our instance over to test mode for me to develop what should we do, get a 2ndary stripe account?

I'm not really sure I understand the situation re: CRM
Also, what do you mean by 'switch our instance over to test mode'? Instance of Stripe?
sonic shoal
what l'm saying is that we're currently using a 3rd party CRM that ties into our stripe account for subscriptions. we have several 100 customers.
however due to the costs of the CRM we have decided to program our own direct integration to stripe.
so what l need to do is be able to program a direct integration via the API to stripe; w/out disabling the current subscriptions and billing that is going on.

There's no 'switch' between test/live mode in Stripe (if that's what you're referring to)
You can use your test mode API keys completely isolated from live mode
Unless I'm confused about what you're referring to when you say 'disabling the current subscriptions and billing'

I was under the impression that the stripe account was either in test mode or it wasn't:
does this toggle, just switch over and show me the test data then?
snow ledge
Yep, that's just a switch to toggle to test mode data in the Dashboard
snow ledge
Test mode/keys are completely sandboxed, won't interfere with any live integration/payments you have
Np!
sonic shoal
Yep, fully get it now.
