At the bottom of the App Settings menu the Test Mode slider is enabled in my app.  
What is the function of this slider and should I be turning it off before uploading to the Play Store?  
I couldn’t find any explanation in the Docs or in past Community posts.  
Thanks,  
Peter

Hi there,  
I think you said “Test Mode” is for the Thunkable X Live test app.

Oh oh, you got it wrong 😅  
It’s for **Stripe Payments** …

Hi there,

Some Thunkable components (mostly money-related ones!) have a **Test Mode**.  
This mode should be enabled for testing your app.  
When you’re ready to publish your app, you should disable Test Mode.
