Setup
- Site
- www.shopperrelay.com/demo (Live demo on the front page). No sign-up. Your copy of the demo is private to your browser.
- Screen
- Tabs at the top pick a relationship. The shopper's app is on the left and the reviewer's phone on the right. On a phone, switch between them.
- Paying
- Use Debit or Credit Card (not Pay with PayPal): card 4111 1111 1111 1111, any future date, any 3-digit CVV. PayPal's card form also asks for an email, name, US address and mobile number; made-up ones work, for example 1 Main St, San Jose, CA 95131 and 408 555 1234. Everything runs in the PayPal sandbox; no real money moves. The one exception is UAT-11, which saves a PayPal account instead of paying.
- PayPal login
- Only UAT-11 needs one: the PayPal sandbox buyer login in the Devpost testing notes. Without it, UAT-12's clock goes to Sarah to approve instead.

- Placing the order with the store, and the sample checkouts on Check a checkout. Products, prices, PayPal holds, charges, releases and invoices are real sandbox calls.
