# Live Testing

Beans live testing allows you to fully test the reward and referral program without activating the apps. This makes it easy for you and your team to set up your loyalty and referral program on your production store without customers being aware of it.

### **Steps**

1. Make sure the loyalty and referral apps have been [deactivated](https://help.trybeans.com/settings/app-deactivation) on the **Beans admin**
2. From the navigation menu, go to **Settings** > **Live testing**

3. Add all emails that should be allowed during the live testing. You should add here all the email addresses of your team members that should be allowed to access the loyalty and referral program in your store.
