Is it possible to deploy to Oxygen and use environment of different account? #2228

I'm working with a client that uses Hydrogen/Oxygen and while developing locally I've been able to connect to my own private store account with test data. Is it possible to deploy to Oxygen but use another account as the environment so the client is able to view the site with test data? I recently tried to configure the environment variables but had no luck, so just wanted to ask if anyone's had luck with this. |

You should be able to install the Headless channel and generate tokens from that instead. |
