How Mandate decides

Previous Page

Server status and which services are live or simulated GET

Which integrations this server is running with: real PayPal sandbox or simulated payments, the model behind the agent, where data is stored, and whether Zapier alerts and the kill switch are on. Always sandbox-only.
