Its pages carry TEST, and the API says test: true.

Questions
Quick answers.
Does test mode charge a card?
No, and it does not test payments against real cards.
Does a test signature count as real?
No. Signing a test document records no real signature event.
Can I tell a test document from a real one?
Yes. The API says test: true and the app shows a Test chip and a banner.
