Test vs Live Mode - Monigo

Monigo operates in two modes: test and live. The mode is determined entirely by which API key you use.

How environments are separated

Behaviour	Test mode	Live mode
Events ingested	Yes	Yes
Invoices generated	Yes	Yes
Customers charged	No	Yes
Payouts submitted	No	Yes
Webhook deliveries	To test endpoint (if set)	To live endpoint
Data visible in dashboard	Test tab	Live tab

Switching modes

You switch between modes by changing the API key in your requests. There is no global toggle — each request is independently scoped to the key used. This means you can run test and live traffic simultaneously using different keys, which is useful during gradual rollouts.

Recommended workflow

Develop locally using mk_test_ keys
Stage using test keys pointed at a staging API
Deploy to production with mk_live_ keys via environment variables

# .env.local
MONIGO_API_KEY=mk_test_...

# .env.production
MONIGO_API_KEY=mk_live_...

Resetting test data

Test data can be cleared from the dashboard under Settings → Developer → Reset Test Data. This is useful when you want a clean state before a demo or before going live.
