When you’re getting ready to launch into Production, request Production API access via the dashboard. All activity in the Production environment will be billed. All testing should be done in the Sandbox and Development environments. The Development environment supports up to 100 live Items using real data. The Sandbox environment supports only test Items. Items, once created, cannot be moved to another environment. Plaid has three environments: Sandbox, Development, and Production.
