The staging environment is preloaded with merchants chosen to exercise every offer shape your integration may encounter — fixed- and variable-value gift cards, boosted rates, vouchers, card-linked offers (CLOs), out-of-stock states, and group-exclusive rates. Use them to confirm your catalog, offer, and purchase flows handle each case correctly.
Staging onlyThese merchants and their offer configurations exist only in the staging environment. Catalogs and offers in production differ — always pull the live catalog before testing there. See Get Merchant Catalog.
