Supra uses a concept called Environments to manage independent spaces for your organization. Each independent space allows you to add products and try out checkout processes without altering the other environments.

Two environments are provided to each organization: one Test environment and one Live environment. Transactions related to products added to the Test enviroment take place exclusively on the Cardano testnet, whereas transactions associated with products in the Live environment will take place on mainnet.

In the Test environment, you may notice that all currency units are prefixed with a “t” to denote “testnet”, e.g. ”₳” becomes “t₳”.

The purpose of the Test enviroment is to give merchants a space where they can experiment with Supra while keeping their main account organized.

The Environment Menu

The environment menu is accessible from the sidebar, and lets you switch between the Test and Live environments.
