# Create Test Actions
Take the PXA course
impact.com allows you to create test actions that you can use to check that your tracking integration and confirm your partners’ tracking links are working correctly.
In order to create and test actions, you should have a set of template terms with a *Default payout* set to **0%** in order to test conversions on your site. Learn more about [Creating Template Terms](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/contracts-and-template-terms/template-terms/create-template-terms).
