# How we test platforms Most people add OpenReceive with a coding agent: they paste our directions, or a prompt, into Cursor, Claude Code, v0 or a similar tool. So we test it the same way. When a framework or platform is marked **Tested** on [openreceive.org/platforms](https://openreceive.org/platforms), an AI coding agent has added OpenReceive to a plain app on it, from scratch, in three trials in a row, and every trial passed every check below. We record the coding agent and model that ran each platform's trials, such as Cursor with Grok or Claude Code. ## One trial 1. **A plain app.** We start from a small shop with five products and orders in its own database, built the usual way for that framework or platform, on its current major version. It has no OpenReceive in it. For a database such as Supabase, the shop's data is already in a real project there. For an AI builder whose own agent we do not drive, such as Lovable or Bolt, the shop is built the way that builder builds one, and runs on a local copy of its stack: for Bolt, a Vite React app on Supabase's own Postgres, Auth, API server and Edge Functions runtime. 2. **An agent and our published directions.** A coding agent gets the same message a merchant would send, with a link to the directions on openreceive.org. It works on its own; a script plays the merchant and answers its questions. 3. **Wallet codes for a test wallet.** The merchant gives the agent a receive-only NWC code and a swap-provider code, and only when the agent asks for one. They belong to a test wallet and a test swap provider that speak the same protocols as real ones, over a real TLS relay, so the trial can also pay an invoice. On a hosting platform such as Vercel, the codes are already the project's environment variables, and the agent must not ask for them. 4. **A real deploy.** For a hosting platform, the finished app is deployed to that platform and tested on its live URL. On an AI builder that hosts apps, such as Replit, the platform's own agent does the work: we send it the prompt from the guide, word for word, and publish the result. ## What a pass requires Every check must pass: - the agent asks for each code in the right order, or not at all when the platform already holds them; - no code appears in a command line, an agent message, or a file that git tracks; - the agent does the work itself, and never asks the merchant to run commands or edit files; - every OpenReceive setup command succeeds as documented, with no flag that skips a failure, and the last doctor run is clean (Lovable's agent has no terminal, so its trials have no doctor run); - the agent stays inside the app: it does not clone our repository or read other projects, and it never stops other programs' servers; - the agent finishes within the turn and time limits, with a short hand-over that starts "Setup is finished" and asks the merchant nothing; - on a framework app, the app is still running at the end: a buyer's order gets a Lightning invoice, reloading the order page resumes that same invoice, another visitor asking for that order is refused, and once the test wallet pays the invoice, the shop marks its own order paid; - on a framework app with the swap code, the checkout offers the test provider's coins, and a buyer pays a second order by swap, USDT on Solana: the test provider completes the swap, its Lightning invoice settles in the test wallet, and the shop marks that order paid too; - on a builder whose payment routes are a server function on another site than its pages, such as Bolt: in a real browser, the buyer signs up and buys through the shop's own pages, served under the builder's domain, and the order page's checkout gets its invoice from the function; another signed-in user, and the project's public key with no user, are refused; and an order the browser writes at a lower price is refused or charged the catalog price; - on a billing panel such as Paymenter or FOSSBilling: in a real browser, a signed-in client orders through the panel's own shop and pays the new invoice on its payment page; another client and a visitor who is not signed in are refused; and once the test wallet pays, the invoice reads paid, by Lightning and by swap; - on a store with its own checkout, such as PrestaShop: in a real browser, a signed-in customer checks out with OpenReceive and pays on the order confirmation page; another customer, with an order of their own, and a visitor who is not signed in are refused; coming back to the order from the account resumes the same invoice; and once the test wallet pays, the order reads paid, by Lightning and by swap; - on a database platform such as Supabase, OpenReceive's tables end up closed to the platform's public API, which every visitor's browser can reach; - on a hosting platform: - the payment route runs on Node, not an Edge runtime; - no worker or cron job was added, because settlement runs on page requests; - the deploy builds; - a buyer's order gets a real Lightning invoice; - a stranger asking for the same order is refused. ## What Tested means, and what it does not - **It is dated.** Each badge shows the date and the OpenReceive release of the last passing trials. - **It covers the path we document.** It does not cover every configuration a platform allows. A custom database adapter, an Edge runtime or an unusual build setup is outside the test. - **It pays twice, from a test wallet.** The trial checks that a paid Lightning invoice and a completed swap each reach the shop's own order. The test swap provider moves no money: it completes the swap when the trial says so. Refunds, swap recovery and every settlement edge case are covered by each library's own test suites. - **The swap and reload checks are newer than some badges.** They joined on 2026-10-14. A badge earned before them stands until that platform's next trials. - **"Guide" means not yet tested.** A platform with a guide but no badge is documented, and we have not yet run it end to end. The test code is open source, in [`trials`](https://github.com/OpenReceive/openreceive/tree/master/trials) in the OpenReceive repository.
