# Stripe Terminal plugin

The fixed Dashboard renders **Plugin settings** from returned `key_plugin` configuration categories. Stripe Terminal category presence, schema, readers, credentials, and payment behavior are external/deployed boundaries.

## Historical schema evidence

Preserved project evidence recorded **Sandbox mode**, production and sandbox publishable key, secret key, webhook secret and reader ID fields, plus **Stripe terminal simulated card presentment (sandbox)**.

Those labels do not establish current installation, values, required state, validation, environment selection, reader registration, webhook delivery, simulation, payment, or refund behavior.

## Fixed category and mutation boundary

`AllSettings` passes returned plugin categories to `SettingsMenuOptions`; a numeric category opens generic `SettingsList`. Config edits stage locally and **Save** persists changed items sequentially; type-5 image configs save immediately. API-core config routes do not establish Terminal schema or device/payment behavior. The separate **Developers → Plugins** manager owns install/root/iframe actions. None ran.

> **Credentials and payment data**
>
> Keys, webhook secrets, readers/devices, merchant/account IDs, endpoints, payments/transactions, cards/customers, wallet/value, refunds, orders, payloads, and provider responses remain excluded.

## Availability

## Access to `/all-settings` requires level 0. Stripe Terminal options depend on the plugin categories and configuration available to the project.
