FAQ
What is my test environment for?
Your test environment enables you to test your integration locally without messing with production data.
Your test environment is set up to allow requests from localhost, so you can develop locally, whereas your production environment allows requests only from your domain.
What happens if I want to switch auth providers in the future?
No problem. We can provide a full export of your user data upon request.
Can I migrate from another provider?
Absolutely! See our guide about migrations here. Since every provider is different, we can also manually help with the migration process. Get in touch at support@propelauth.com.
