# Changes to order and payment testing on newly created 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 need to test your development store using real transactions, then you need to transfer your store to a paid plan.

Orders and payments in existing development stores will not change immediately. Updates to existing development stores will be announced in the developer changelog.

Learn more about [test orders](https://help.shopify.com/en/partners/dashboard/test-orders-in-dev-stores) on the Shopify Help Center.

If you have further questions about testing payments and orders in newly created development stores, get answers in our dedicated [discussion area](https://community.shopify.com/c/Partners-Discussion/bd-p/partners-discussion) for developers, or reach out to partner support through your [Partner Dashboard](https://partners.shopify.com/current/support/form).
