Live Mode enables real transactions with tax calculations.
We enable customers to install the Kintsugi app in both Test and Live modes of Stripe, as it offers a dedicated testing environment. This allows users to simulate transactions and thoroughly validate their integration without impacting real data. This flexibility ensures businesses can confidently transition to live transactions.
You can find additional details about Test Mode and Live Mode, and guidance on choosing the best option for your use case, here.

If you manage multiple organizations, ensure you're selecting the correct one for accurate tracking and reporting.
