• Set SQUARE_ENVIRONMENT=sandbox

3. Deployment

• Run ./deploy-square.sh OR
• Run docker-compose down
• Run docker-compose up -d --build
• Verify containers are running: docker-compose ps

4. Testing

• Access frontend at http://localhost:3000
• Login/register a user
• Navigate to membership setup
• Select a membership tier
• Choose "Credit/Debit Card" payment
• Test with card: 4111 1111 1111 1111

• Approve cash payment

6. Production Preparation (When Ready)

• Get Square production credentials
• Complete Square account verification
• Test in sandbox thoroughly first
• Update .env with production credentials
• Change SQUARE_ENVIRONMENT=production
• Update Square SDK URL in index.html to production
• Test with real card (small amount, can refund)
• Monitor logs and Square Dashboard

🎯 Quick Test Script

After deployment, run these commands to verify:

# Check backend is running
curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/payments/config/square

# Expected output (with your actual IDs):
# {
#   "application_id": "sandbox-sq0idb-...",
#   "location_id": "LXXX...",
#   "environment": "sandbox"
# }

# Check frontend is running
curl http://localhost:3000

# Check logs
docker-compose logs backend | grep -i square

📊 Testing Matrix

Test Case	Expected Result	Status
Square payment - valid card	Payment success, membership activated	[ ]
Square payment - declined card	Error shown, payment not created	[ ]
Cash payment	Payment pending, membership pending	[ ]
Admin approve cash payment	Membership activated	[ ]
Admin refund Square payment	Payment refunded in Square	[ ]
Email sent on activation	User receives email	[ ]

🔍 Verification Commands

# Check Square SDK installed
docker-compose exec backend pip list | grep square

# Check configuration loaded
docker-compose exec backend python -c "from app.core.config import settings; print(settings.SQUARE_ENVIRONMENT)"

# Check database has payments
docker-compose exec mysql mysql -u "${DATABASE_USER}" -p -e "SELECT * FROM ${DATABASE_NAME}.payments LIMIT 5;"

# Check frontend files
ls -la frontend/src/components/SquarePayment.tsx

🐛 Common Issues & Solutions

Issue	Solution
"Module not found: squareup"	Rebuild backend: docker-compose build backend
"SQUARE_APPLICATION_ID not found"	Add to .env and restart containers
Square SDK not loading	Check browser console, verify script tag in index.html
Payment fails with 401	Check SQUARE_ACCESS_TOKEN is correct
Payment fails with location error	Verify SQUARE_LOCATION_ID matches your account

📝 Notes

• All Square credentials are for SANDBOX by default
• No real money is charged in sandbox mode
• Test cards work only in sandbox environment
• Keep .env file secure and never commit to git
• Monitor Square Dashboard for transaction details
• Check backend logs for detailed error messages

✅ Sign-off
