# Setup

> Network tokens are an add-on feature on all Hellgate products. Learn how to enable them for testing and production.

Network tokens are an add-on feature available on both Guardian and Commerce. They are not enabled by default and require activation through Hellgate support.

## Testing

On the Test tier, Hellgate provides a built-in **Network Token Sandbox** that simulates card scheme responses without forwarding requests to real networks. Once network tokens are activated for your test account, the sandbox is available immediately — no additional configuration required.
