description: >-
  ZeroSettle separates sandbox and live purely by API key prefix. Sandbox
  connects to Stripe's test environment (no real charges); SDK behavior is
  identical between the two. The dashboard has a Sandbox/Live toggle.
modes:
- name: sandbox
  key_prefix: zs_pk_test_
  processor_environment: Stripe test environment
  charges: none
- name: live
  key_prefix: zs_pk_live_
  processor_environment: Stripe live environment
  charges: real
test_cards:
  note: Stripe test cards. Use any future expiry and any 3-digit CVC.
  reference: https://docs.stripe.com/testing
  cards:
  - number: '4242 4242 4242 4242'

time_simulation:
  supported: true
  mechanism: Stripe test clocks
  reference: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/testing/test-clocks
  note: Sandbox subscriptions use real time intervals; test clocks fast-forward time.
reset_tooling:
  location: Dashboard > Settings > Sandbox
  actions:
  - name: Reset to Live
    effect: Copies live products and subscription configs into sandbox.
    endpoint: POST /api/v1/sandbox/reset-to-live/
  - name: Reset to ASC
    effect: Re-syncs sandbox product metadata from App Store Connect.
    endpoint: POST /api/v1/sandbox/reset-to-asc/
  - name: Clear All
    effect: Wipes sandbox transactions, entitlements, and sessions (products preserved). Irreversible.
notes:
- StoreKit environment is derived from Apple's receipt (environment field), not the key prefix; a sandbox Apple account with a live key records the transaction in sandbox mode and returns warning "environment_mismatch".
