DNS Ready

Ron completed DNS setup in Resend for reffi.io domain (verified December 11)

Status: Ready for testing Next: Test transactional emails with live domain

2. Stripe Production Migration

Test Mode Limitation

Identity verification failing in Stripe test mode (expected behavior)

Decision: Switch to production Stripe for realistic testing Action Required: Get production API keys from Ron Testing Plan: Process micro-transactions ($1) to validate flow

3. UAT Planning

Approach: Multi-phase testing

  • Phase 1: Ron tests offline Stripe account setup
  • Phase 2: Alex creates UAT environment with feedback popups
  • Phase 3: Local beta testers (Ron’s network)
