Steps to Enable Test Mode:

Important Note: Ensure to use the Test Secret Key from dashboard.bitstream.dev for activating Test Mode. This specialized test mode not only ensures a secure and isolated environment for your test transactions but also allows you to view and verify all test payments distinctly from your live mode operations, maintaining a clean and safe separation.

• Return to the WooCommerce Bitstream settings and paste the key into the designated field.

Note: Always obtain the Test Secret Key from dashboard.bitstream.dev to ensure secure and accurate testing.

1. Perform Test Transactions:

   • Using the Bitstream faucet, acquire test tokens (e.g., USDC).

   • Initiate test transactions in your WooCommerce store using these tokens.

2. Verify Transactions:

   • After conducting test transactions, confirm that the funds reflect correctly in your test wallet.

Note: Always ensure you switch off 'Test Mode' and use the live API key when you're ready to accept real crypto payments.
