<li>Default Order Pending Status: 
 ACH In-Process: 
 -This is a custom Paynote status. When a payment is completed by the customer, it will be set to “ACH In-Process.” After processing, it will change to either “Failed” or “Paid.” 
 On-Hold: 
 -By default, WooCommerce sets all payments to “On-Hold” after initiation. From this status, payments will move to either “Failed” or “Paid.”
 </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Secret Key
<ul>
<li>Sandbox Mode: 
 – Starts with the prefix sk_test_. 
 – Used for testing the API in a sandbox environment. 
 – Allows performing test transactions, creating test data, and simulating various scenarios. 
 – Must be stored securely as it provides access to the API, but only in a test environment.
 </li>
<li>Live Mode: 
 – Starts with the prefix sk_. 
 – Used for performing real operations in a production environment. 
 – Provides full access to the API for working with real data and transactions. 
 – Must be handled with extreme caution, as its compromise can lead to data leaks or financial losses.
 </li>
<li>Key Differences:
<ol>
<li>Prefixes: 
 – Sandbox: sk_test_ (secret). 
 – Live: sk_ (secret).
 </li>
<li>Purpose: 
 – Sandbox keys are used for testing and development. 
 – Live keys are used for real operations.
 </li>
<li>Security: 
 – Sandbox keys are used for testing and development. 
 – Sandbox keys are less critical as they only work with test data.
 </li>
<li>Access: 
 – Secret keys must only be used on the server side and should never be exposed to the client.
