Affino Staging Service Help Guide

Q: Key differences are:

1.- No notifications, ensures that you are not sending out notices from your staging service SEO lockdown, to ensure no issues or dilution with SEO 2.- Most automated tasks are suspended, prevents a host of unwanted activities, e.g. attempted payment taking Payment Gateway disabling, to prevent automated transactions (can be tested on live site) 3.- No Site Search Staging - as this service is provided independently

Affino Staging Service

The Affino Staging instance is an essential test ground for any code prior to loading on to the live site, including for new Affino releases. This will have a big impact on ensuring the highest quality customer experience throughout. It will also allow for more experimentation and testing of new functionality prior to deployment to find the best approaches.

Staging Refresh

Typically Affino users refresh every six months, however we offer more frequent refreshes.

It is worth noting that we recommend six month refreshes as normally there will be a host of staging and test services, projects, scenarios in progress and these are inevitably wiped on any refresh from the live site.

The timing is normally dependent on major new Affino releases, or major updates planned on the client side.
