    purpose: development, integration testing, and QA
separation:
  detail: >-
    Extend provides fully separate Demo (Sandbox) and Production environments with independent
    credentials. API Integrations (OAuth Client ID/Secret) must be created separately in each
    environment's Merchant Portal; a demo store and/or production store is required.
  key_model: >-
    Each environment issues its own OAuth Client ID / Client Secret via the Merchant Portal
    Integrations tab, exchanged for short-lived access tokens against that environment's token
    endpoint.
test_values:
  detail: >-
    No published magic test card/identifier values were found; sandbox testing is done end-to-end
    against the demo environment with demo stores and demo credentials. New demo stores return
    200 OK with empty lists until products/orders are created.
guidance: >-
  Use demo for all development and QA, and switch to production only after the integration has
  been tested end-to-end.
