ROLLER Playground is a demo environment of your platform that allows you to create products, generate transactions and learn to use ROLLER without affecting your live account.
It's important to note the following when using the playground environment:
- Bookings and guest data are not transferrable between the playground and live environment.
- Products that are created in the playground can not be used in your live account.
- Updating playground clears all existing bookings from the playground environment and copies all products and settings from your live account across to your playground account.
