## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is a Monimeer vs a Space?">
    A Monimeer is your personal account that owns and manages one or more business
    Spaces. A Space is a business account where payments, payouts, and analytics live.
  </Accordion>

  {" "}

  <Accordion title="Do I need a Space to generate Access Tokens?">
    You can create tokens from your personal dashboard. For production, we recommend
    scoping tokens to specific Spaces using whitelist options where applicable.
  </Accordion>

  {" "}

  <Accordion title="Can I switch between Test and Live?">
    Yes. When creating tokens you can toggle Test Mode. In Test Mode, transactions are
    simulated and some options are restricted. In Live Mode, full configuration is available.
