# Changes to order and payment testing on all development stores

Beginning today, partners who want to test orders in development stores can only process payments using the following methods:

* Shopify's test payment provider (Bogus Gateway).
* A payment provider set to test mode.

If you want to test your development store using real transactions, then you can select and purchase a Shopify plan in the account settings of your development store.

This change was applied to all newly created development stores on March 30, 2020, as mentioned in our changelog update [here](https://shopify.dev/changelog/changes-to-order-and-payment-testing-on-newly-created-development-stores). Beginning September 14, 2020, this change will be applicable across all development stores.
