🏗 IdeaBox (WIP)

A platform for creators to sell digital content and subscription services payment via USDC and Credit Card, built on Scaffold-ETH 2.

⚠️ Test Mode Instructions

Currently the app is in test mode, so you can test the USDC payment as well as the Card payment method:

1. For Crypto Payment: (only on local network)
   - Use the faucet to get some ETH
   - The payment will be successful but will send test ETH
   - ETH will be transferred on Localhost instead of USDC on live chain

2. For Credit Card Payment: (works on live demo)
   - Test Card Number: 4242 4242 4242 4242
   - CVC: Any 3 digits
   - Expiry Date: Any future date

3. Development Environment:
   - All features run on localhost for testing
   - Free tier available for all integrations (Privy, Stripe, Upstash)
   - Perfect for testing product demand before upgrading to paid tiers
