How to Create a Developer Org in Salesforce
Creating a developer org in Salesforce is a crucial step for developers and administrators who want to test, develop, and customize Salesforce applications without affecting the production environment. A developer org provides a safe and controlled space to experiment with new features, configurations, and code. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a developer org in Salesforce.
Step 1: Log in to Salesforce
To create a developer org, you first need to log in to your Salesforce account. Go to the Salesforce login page and enter your username and password. Once logged in, you will be directed to the Salesforce home page.
Step 2: Navigate to Setup
From the Salesforce home page, click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner to access the Setup menu. This menu contains all the configuration options for your Salesforce org.
Step 3: Search for “Developer Console”
In the Setup menu, use the search bar to type “Developer Console” and select it from the search results. This will take you to the Developer Console page, where you can manage your developer orgs.
Step 4: Click on “New Org”
On the Developer Console page, you will see a list of your existing developer orgs. To create a new org, click on the “New Org” button located at the top of the page.
Step 5: Fill in the required information
After clicking on the “New Org” button, you will be prompted to fill in the required information for your new developer org. This includes:

Step 6: Choose the Edition
Next, you need to select the Salesforce edition for your new org. Salesforce offers various editions, such as Developer Edition, Developer Edition with Sandboxes, and Enterprise Edition. Choose the edition that best suits your development needs.
Step 7: Configure Additional Settings
After selecting the edition, you can configure additional settings for your new org, such as:
– API Name: Choose an API name for your new org.
– Org Type: Select the org type, such as “Developer Edition” or “Developer Edition with Sandboxes.”
– API Access: Enable or disable API access for your new org.

Step 8: Click on “Create”
Once you have filled in all the required information and configured the settings, click on the “Create” button to create your new developer org.
Step 9: Wait for the Org to be Provisioned
After clicking on the “Create” button, Salesforce will provision your new org. This process may take a few minutes. Once the org is provisioned, you will receive a confirmation message.
Step 10: Access Your New Developer Org
Once your new developer org is provisioned, you can access it by clicking on the “Go to Org” button in the confirmation message. You will be redirected to the Salesforce login page for your new org, where you can log in using the admin username and password you provided during the creation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully created a developer org in Salesforce. Now you can start developing and testing your Salesforce applications in a safe and controlled environment.
