# Get Your Dedicated Test Account

Every integration starts with its own test account, so that what you test is yours and nobody else's sales can affect it. PayMe publishes no shared test credentials. Never copy a seller ID or key from an example, a repository or another integrator.

## If you integrate as a direct seller

1. If you already have a PayMe account, open the dashboard, click your name, then choose **Switch to test account** and **Create test account**.
2. If you have no account, sign up at <https://paid.co.il>.
3. Find your keys under **Admin → API & Integration**. The page has a test and production toggle. You need the MPL (`seller_payme_id`) and, for Hosted Fields, the public key from **Hosted Fields JSAPI Credentials**.

If that page is missing, [Authentication](/payments/getting-started/authentication#getting-credentials) explains how to add it.

## If you integrate as a partner

Write to <partners@payme.io> and ask for:

- a sandbox partner key (`payme_client_key`) and partner secret;
- a terminal connected to the sandbox account;
- the rest of the list on [What to Ask PayMe First](/agents/start/ask-payme-first).

## Rules

- Put the values in your environment or secret store. Never paste them into a chat, a ticket, a commit or a log.
- Sandbox and production are separate accounts with separate keys. A sandbox key is refused on `live.payme.io`, and a production key is refused on `sandbox.payme.io`.
- Examples in these docs use `MPLDEMO-MPLDEMO-MPLDEMO-1234567` as the seller ID. It is an example only. Never integrate against it.
