detail: >-
  Channable provides a "Channable Sandbox" that lets integrators test order integration without sending
  requests to live marketplaces. It is provisioned as a connection inside the app rather than a separate
  API host: under user menu -> connections -> "+ Add new connection", select "Channable Sandbox" and
  create it, then set up an order connection between the "Channable API" and the "Channable Sandbox" for
  the project. The sandbox uses mocked marketplace data with the same structure and API calls as production.
test_flows:
- name: Send test order
  detail: >-
    From Setup -> Setup orders -> Settings of the Channable Sandbox order connection, use the gear menu
    "Send test order", supply an item id, and submit. Programmatically this corresponds to
    POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/projects/{project_id}/orders/test/{order_config_id}
    (operationId create_test_order...).
- name: Create test return
  detail: >-
    POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/projects/{project_id}/returns/test (operationId create_test_return...)
    creates a test return in the sandbox.
test_operations:
- create_test_order_companies__company_id__projects__project_id__orders_test__order_config_id__post
- create_test_return_companies__company_id__projects__project_id__returns_test_post
notes: >-
  Channable publishes no static magic test values (no test card numbers, test tokens, or fixed test
  identifiers) for the order connection API; test data is generated through the sandbox connection and the
  test-order/test-return endpoints. No values are invented here. The same production base URL
  (https://api.channable.com/v1) is used; isolation is by the sandbox connection/order-config, not a
  separate host.
