- 8 feature flags implemented:
btcpay_integrationnwc_paymentsprovider_webhooksauto_retry_failed_connectionsemail_notificationsadvanced_analyticsprovider_marketplacesubscription_management
Usage:
import { featureFlags } from '@/lib/feature-flags';
if (featureFlags.isEnabled('btcpay_integration')) {

Feature Flags:
# Test dry-run mode BTCPAY_DRY_RUN=true npm run dev # Create shop with provider connection # Verify mock data returned
-
Rate Limiting:
# Hit endpoint 11 times in 5 minutes for i in {1..11}; do curl -X POST /api/providers/greenfield/create-store; done # Should see 429 on 11th request
-
Input Validation:
# Try SQL injection patterns curl -X POST /api/shops -d '{"name": "'; DROP TABLE users; --"}' # Should reject with validation error
-
Dashboards:
- Create multiple shops
- Connect to providers
- Make payments
- Verify dashboard stats are correct

Review audit logs (in console output when you make requests)
- Rate limit errors: Clear rate limiter cache or wait for window to expire
- Validation errors: Check console for detailed field-level errors
- Feature disabled: Check
.envfor feature flag settings - Dry-run confusion: Remember to set
BTCPAY_DRY_RUN=falsefor real API calls
# View all feature flags status
curl http://localhost:3000/api/admin/feature-flags
# Clear rate limits (would need to restart server)
# Or wait for time window to expire
# Check logs
# All console output now includes structured logging with context- ~3,500 lines of production code
