Commerce readiness ยท local only

Lemon Squeezy is the next-week integration lane, not a live checkout yet.

This page is the local cockpit for getting the High Caliber product stack ready for Lemon Squeezy review. It prepares product mapping, licence thinking, customer-portal handoff, re-download rules, support/refund paths, and release-delivery evidence without connecting a real provider.

Current state: readiness scaffold only. No Lemon Squeezy account, API key, checkout link, webhook, licence key, affiliate payout, installer upload, customer data, live email, or payment flow is connected.

Next-week integration map

What must be decided before a real provider connection exists.

01

Product slugs

Confirm Aperture, Bento, BlackBerry, and MindBridge slugs match the apps site, customer portal, upgrade mapping, and future Lemon Squeezy products.

02

Base licences

Decide reviewed licence names, price bands, included maintenance updates, platform entitlement wording, and refund/delivery terms before any checkout copy.

03

Optional paid extras

Keep Smart Export Pro, Professional Report Pack, schema mapping, and audit/transfer packs as genuine add-ons, never forced maintenance fixes.

04

Customer portal handoff

Map future orders to productSlug, licence status, release version, checksums, re-download status, support guidance, and minimum necessary records.

05

Webhook safety

Plan test-mode order, licence, refund, subscription/update, and entitlement events with signed verification and no unnecessary customer fields.

06

Release delivery

Do not upload installers until signed/notarized packages, release notes, checksums, platform wording, and human QA are ready.

Current local product mapping

The stack is ready for a careful test-mode mapping pass.

Aperture Library RescueBase desktop licence first; Smart Export Pro or professional metadata reporting can remain optional extras after the base app is clearly useful.
Bento Database RescueBase recovery/export licence first; batch export and schema mapping can become a separate business migration add-on if reviewed.
BlackBerry Backup ExtractorBase backup inspection/export licence first; secure transfer or evidence-style audit reporting remains an optional professional add-on.
MindBridgeOwn-site sales stay preserved; Apple/Android routes are additive. Professional Report Pack can be the reusable optional upgrade pattern.

Wednesday test-mode prep pack

The next push is mapping and review, not live commerce.

Aperture Library Rescue is the recommended first Lemon Squeezy test-mode mapping product because its customer problem, privacy story, and re-download/support value are easiest to explain. This does not approve a live product, checkout, upload, or customer sale.

First productStart with Aperture test-mode mapping, then Bento and BlackBerry after wording and release evidence are reviewed. MindBridge remains a gated launch-template row unless Bryn explicitly includes it.
Base licence firstPrepare base licence wording before optional paid extras. Paid extras stay future-only unless explicitly approved.
Policy packConfirm refund, delivery, re-download, compatibility, and support wording before checkout copy or provider product creation.
Still blockedNo live checkout, API key, webhook, customer email, affiliate payout, installer upload, signing, notarization, DNS, hosting, analytics, or public launch.

Before any connection

Approval checklist for Bryn and Hermes.

  • Review final product names, slugs, licence wording, platform support, refund/delivery wording, and support boundaries.
  • Confirm whether Lemon Squeezy test mode should be created before any live account/product/checkout work.
  • Confirm what customer data is genuinely necessary and keep marketing consent separate from purchase/support records.
  • Confirm release packages are human-tested, signed/notarized where needed, checksummed, and accompanied by release notes before upload.
  • Keep public checkout links, API keys, webhooks, affiliate payouts, customer emails, analytics, installer uploads, DNS, hosting, and publication blocked until explicitly approved.
