# Integrated Account Types
Integrated accounts can be categorised into two types, **Test** and **Production**.
## Test account
* **Test** account as the name suggests is not billed and generally used for development/testing purpose.
* All integrated accounts are marked as **Test** by default but can be changed to **Production** using any of the options mentioned below in this article .
* A **Test** account is deactivated after 30 calendar days and can't be reinstated.
* A Knit account can have up to **3** **Test** integrated accounts.
## Production account
* **Production** accounts are used for billing purposes.
* There are no limits to the number to **Production** integrated accounts an account can have.
* Production accounts are not deactivated unless manually done through the [dashboard](https://app.getknit.dev).
* Account marked as **Production** can be converted to a **Test** account using any of the options mentioned below in this article .
> 📘 It is advisable to use "Test" account for sales demo.
>
> But, "Test" accounts expire after 30 days and can't be reinstated. However, you can create another "Test" account for the same app and it's credentials by creating another "Test" account with a new origin org ID. See [setting up Knit UI](https://developers.getknit.dev/docs/getting-started) for more details on creating an integrated account.
# Converting account types
One can convert any integrated account marked as **Test** to **Production** account type or vice versa in the following ways:
## During new Integrated Account creation
### [Auth Session Creation API](https://developers.getknit.dev/reference/auth-session-creation-api)
Passing a boolean value for the optional body param `testAccount` can be used to mark the integrated account as **Test** or **Production**.
If the `testAccount` param is not passed, the organisation level default setting is used to mark the integrated account as **Test** or **Production**.
For example, the following cURL would mark the integration as **Test**
```curl
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.getknit.dev/v1.0/auth.createSession \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '
{
"testAccount": true,
"originOrgId": "client1",
"originOrgName": "Client 1",
"originUserEmail": "user@client1.com",
"originUserName": "User 1"
}
'
```
### Magic Link Creation
While creating a magic link, one can choose to make the integrated account generated via the magic link as **Test** or **Production** via the **Mark as Test account** switch in Magic link form.
## Switch an existing Integrated Account from Test to Production or vice versa
### Integrated Accounts Page
For existing integrated accounts, one can switch between **Test** and **Production** account type via `â‹®` icon in the table listing details for each integrated account.
## Mark future Integrated Accounts as Test or Production by default
### Integrated Accounts Settings switch
All integrated accounts created in future can be marked from as **Test** or **Production** by default through Integrated Accounts Settings.
