Hi @keithhill1968,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. The Afterpay team certainly encourage merchants to perform testing in their unique staging environments prior to updating their production environment. While the setup and maintenance of merchant environments are not covered by Afterpay’s free integration and support service, the team would be happy to assist with the setup of an Afterpay Sandbox Merchant account.
Furthermore, the Afterpay Gateway for WooCommerce plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite, so it is possible to run multiple websites on a single hosting service and configure the Afterpay plugin differently for each of them.
For assistance setting up a Sandbox Merchant account, please submit a dedicated support request from the Afterpay Help Centre here:
A team member will then reach out to you within 1 business day.
Thank you.
