What we can complete before spending money.
- Create the Michai Media Duffel account and verify its email.
- Create a Developer test-mode access token; test tokens begin with duffel_test_.
- Install the token as a server-only secret and enable a small test-search hard cap.
- Run offer search, single-offer repricing, expiry, baggage, fare-condition, and operating-carrier tests.
- Run Duffel Airways sandbox order, cancellation, change, failure, and webhook recovery tests without real traveler data.
What Michai Media must approve before selling.
- Complete Duffel business and individual verification to unlock live mode.
- Approve the merchant, seller-of-travel, refund, chargeback, tax, and customer-support operating model.
- Obtain Duffel approval for customer-card payments. The installed Duffel Card form keeps complete card numbers and CVV away from FareSift and performs 3-D Secure before order submission.
- Create a live read-write token and signed webhook, install the PII-vault key, choose a transaction ceiling, and validate the emergency kill switch.
- Enable production search first; enable order creation only after live repricing, payment, servicing, and support evidence pass review.
Airfare payment and FareSift subscriptions stay separated.
Duffel Card is the installed airfare path: the travel supplier receives a tokenized, 3-D Secure-authenticated card without FareSift receiving the complete card number or CVV. Stripe remains the processor for FareSift plans and service fees. A ticket is shown only after Duffel returns an airline order.
