note: >-
  Result's sandbox is scoped to payments. New accounts start in test mode and the switch to
  live is a dashboard toggle under Finance > Payments — the running application follows it,
  so there is no environment variable to change and no redeploy. Every test value below is
  quoted verbatim from the provider's documentation; none is invented. There is no separate
  sandbox base URL, no test-mode key prefix, and no test clock or time-simulation tooling
  documented for any other surface (database, storage, functions, realtime, AI, email,
  analytics, support all run against the live backend).
modes:
- name: test
  default_for: new accounts
  description: >-
    Payments run against test cards only. The docs are explicit: "Use test cards, never a
    real one."
- name: live
  activation: a switch in the dashboard under Finance > Payments
  description: >-
    The running app follows the switch — no environment variable to change, no redeploy.
key_separation:
  test_vs_live_keys: false
  note: >-
    Result does NOT separate test and live by key prefix. The same publishable key and admin
    key are used in both modes; the mode is account state, not a credential. This differs
    from the prefix-based model most payment platforms use, and it means a key alone does not
    tell an integrator which mode they are in. `result payments status` from the CLI is the
    documented way to ask.
test_cards:
- number: '4242 4242 4242 4242'
  outcome: Succeeds
- number: '4000 0038 0000 0446'
  outcome: Succeeds, with a 3DS challenge
- number: '4000 0000 0000 0002'
  outcome: Declined
- number: '4000 0027 6000 3184'
  outcome: Succeeds once, then fails on renewal
test_card_rules:
- Any future expiry works.
- Any name works.
processor:
  merchant_of_record: Paddle.com
  note: >-
    The test card numbers are the standard Paddle/Stripe-family test PANs. Result requires
    that a seller's public terms state Paddle.com is the reseller and Merchant of Record for
    all orders before the account can go live.
cli_inspection:

go_live_requirements:
  note: >-
    Three pages must be publicly reachable WITHOUT a login before an account can sell. The
    docs name login walls and hidden pricing as the most common reason a site is refused.
  pages:
  - Terms and conditions stating that Paddle.com is the reseller and Merchant of Record for
    all orders.
  - A refund policy with a window between 14 and 90 days.
  - A privacy notice.
not_documented:
- test clocks / time simulation
- fixture or trigger tooling for simulating events
- test bank accounts or IBANs
- dispute simulation values
- a sandbox base URL or separate test backend
