# Testing Flinks Express

> Test your Flinks Express hosted solution using demo mode and test credentials.

Flinks Express is a hosted solution that Flinks manages on your behalf. Before going live, you can test the full flow using demo mode.

## Enabling demo mode

Add `demo=true` to your Flinks Express URL to enable demo mode:

```
https://{your-express-url}/?demo=true
```

In demo mode, Flinks Express connects to the **Flinks Capital** test institution instead of real financial institutions, allowing you to test the entire flow without live bank connections.

## Test credentials

Use these credentials to log in to Flinks Capital in demo mode:

| Field    | Value      |
| :------- | :--------- |
| Username | `Greatday` |
| Password | `Everyday` |

The Flinks Capital test institution simulates a full banking connection, including MFA prompts and account selection.

## Verifying your integration

After completing a test connection, verify the results using one of these methods:

### Via Dashboard

1. Log in to the [Flinks Dashboard](/guides/dashboard/getting-started).
2. Navigate to the [Request Feed](/guides/dashboard/request-feed).
3. Locate the test request and verify the status is **Completed**.

### Via API

1. Retrieve the `loginId` from the test connection.
2. Call [/Authorize](/api/authorize/endpoints/authorize) with the `loginId` to get a `requestId`.
3. Call [/GetAccountsDetail](/api/connect/endpoints/account-linking/get-accounts-detail) with the `requestId` to verify the returned data.

### Via webhooks

If you have [webhooks](/guides/webhooks/introduction) configured, verify that the webhook payload was received at your endpoint after the test connection completes.

<Warning>
  Demo mode uses test data only. Remove `demo=true` from the URL before sharing your Flinks Express link with real customers.
