Test purchases are labelled, so you can tell them apart

When you test a purchase in your provider's sandbox or test mode, PayGlue creates the Ghost member exactly as it would for a reader, access, newsletter and emails as your rule says, because a test is there to show you the real flow. What is new: PayGlue knows it was a test. The member gets a fifth label, payglue-test, and its note reads Test purchase. PayGlue reads the provider's own signal for this: Creem's test mode, Lemon Squeezy's test mode, Gumroad's test flag, a Paddle or PayPal connection set to sandbox, a Polar sandbox token. The email address plays no part, so a real reader with a throwaway address is a real member. To clean up after testing, filter your Ghost members by the label and delete the selection.

• Fifth label payglue-test on members created by sandbox or test-mode purchases
• Newsletter and emails follow your rule, so you see what a reader would see
• Detected from the provider's own test signal, never from the address
