test mode

Evaluation configuration active

Test mode is a state in which software or hardware runs with special conditions enabled—typically for debugging, development, or quality assurance.

In test mode, features may behave differently: restrictions might be lifted, logging increased, or real transactions replaced with simulated ones.

The app is still in test mode, so payments won't actually process.
