VerifyFlow Test Mode
Every published VerifyFlow has two hosted pages: a live page for real verifications and a test page for validating your setup without spending live credits.
How Test Mode works
When you publish a VerifyFlow, VerifyHuman automatically creates:
| Page | Environment | Credits used | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live hosted page | Live | Yes — live credits charged | Share with real users |
| Test hosted page | Test | No — no credits charged | Validate your setup |
Both pages are created in the same publish step. You do not need to do anything extra to get the test page.
Opening a test hosted page
From the Flow detail page, find the Test Mode card:
- Click Open in Test Mode to open the test hosted page in a new tab
- Or click Copy to copy the test link and share it with a teammate
The test page looks identical to the live page — same branding, same redirect URLs — but it is clearly labeled as a test.
The Test Mode banner
Every test hosted page displays a yellow banner at the top:
Test Mode — this is a sample run. No live verification is performed and no live credits are charged.
This banner is visible to everyone who opens the test link. It cannot be hidden. It is a clear signal that the page is not processing real verifications.
What happens in Test Mode
- No live AI verification is run
- No live credits are deducted from your account
- Test results appear in your dashboard with a test label
- Redirect URLs still trigger (so you can validate your post-verification flow)
- Delivery options may be limited or marked as test
Test Mode results are kept separate from your live verification history.
When to use the test page
Use the test hosted page before sharing the live link:
- Walk your team through the experience — share the test link internally before going live
- Validate redirect URLs — confirm your success and failure redirects land in the right place
- Check branding and copy — review how the page looks on mobile and desktop
- Validate your webhook setup — confirm your webhook endpoint receives test events
Switching to the live page
When you are ready to share with real users, use the Live hosted page link from the Flow detail page. Do not share the test link with end users — it will not run real verifications.
The test connection key (advanced)
In addition to the test hosted page, each Flow also has a test connection key — a separate API key in the test environment. This is useful if you are wiring the API or widget into your own code for testing.
Most users only need the test hosted page. The connection key is for developers who are building a custom integration.
The test connection key is shown in a separate advanced section of the Test Mode card, collapsed by default.
Live configuration is always separate
Editing, publishing, or testing a Flow never changes your live hosted page token. The live and test hosted pages are entirely separate resources. You can freely open and share test links without affecting live traffic.
Frequently asked questions
Can I share the test link with customers?
No. Test links do not run real verifications. Share only the live hosted page link with real users.
Do test results appear in my dashboard?
Yes, with a test badge. They are filtered separately from your live results.
Does the test page look different from the live page?
Only the yellow Test Mode banner is different. Branding, redirect URLs, and copy are the same as the live page.
Can I turn off the Test Mode banner?
No. The banner is always shown on test pages so users cannot mistake a test run for a real verification.
What if I do not see a test page link?
Test page creation happens at publish time. If your Flow was published before this feature was added, re-publish the Flow to generate a test hosted page.
