+# Helcim Integration Testing Guide
+
+## Setup Complete
+The Helcim Recurring API integration has been set up with the following components:
+
+### 1. Composables
+- `/app/composables/useHelcim.js` - Server-side Helcim API interactions
+- `/app/composables/useHelcimPay.js` - Client-side HelcimPay.js integration
+
+### 2. Server API Endpoints
+- `/server/api/helcim/customer.post.js` - Creates Helcim customer and member record
+- `/server/api/helcim/subscription.post.js` - Creates subscription for paid tiers
+- `/server/api/helcim/verify-payment.post.js` - Verifies payment token
+
+### 3. Updated Pages
+- `/app/pages/join.vue` - Multi-step signup flow with payment integration
+
+### 4. Database Schema
+- Updated `/server/models/member.js` with subscription fields
+
+## Testing Instructions
+
+### Prerequisites
+1. Ensure your `.env` file has the test Helcim token:
+   ```
+   NUXT_PUBLIC_HELCIM_TOKEN=your_test_token_here
+   ```
+
+2. Ensure you have test payment plans created in Helcim dashboard matching these IDs:
+   - `supporter-monthly-5`
+   - `member-monthly-15`
+   - `advocate-monthly-30`
+   - `champion-monthly-50`
+
+### Test Flow
+
+#### 1. Start the Development Server
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+#### 2. Test Free Tier Signup
+1. Navigate to `/join`
+2. Fill in name and email
+3. Select any circle
+4. Choose "$0 - I need support right now"
+5. Click "Complete Registration"
+6. Should go directly to confirmation without payment
+
+#### 3. Test Paid Tier Signup
+1. Navigate to `/join`
+2. Fill in test details:
+   - Name: Test User
+   - Email: test@example.com
+3. Select any circle
+4. Choose a paid contribution tier (e.g., "$15 - I can sustain the community")
+5. Click "Continue to Payment"
+6. On the payment step, use Helcim test card numbers:
+   - **Success**: 4111 1111 1111 1111
+   - **Decline**: 4000 0000 0000 0002
+   - CVV: Any 3 digits
+   - Expiry: Any future date
+7. Click "Complete Payment"
+8. Should see confirmation with member details
+
+### Test Card Numbers (Helcim Test Mode)
+- **Visa Success**: 4111 1111 1111 1111
+- **Mastercard Success**: 5500 0000 0000 0004
+- **Amex Success**: 3400 0000 0000 009
+- **Decline**: 4000 0000 0000 0002
+- **Insufficient Funds**: 4000 0000 0000 0051
+
+### Debugging
+
+#### Check API Responses
+Open browser DevTools Network tab to monitor:
+- `/api/helcim/customer` - Should return customer ID and token
+- `/api/helcim/verify-payment` - Should return card details
+- `/api/helcim/subscription` - Should return subscription ID
+
+#### Common Issues
+
+1. **HelcimPay.js not loading**
+   - Check console for script loading errors
+   - Verify token is correctly set in environment
+
+2. **Customer creation fails**
+   - Check API token permissions in Helcim dashboard
+   - Verify MongoDB connection
+
+3. **Payment verification fails**
+   - Ensure you're using test card numbers
+   - Check that Helcim account is in test mode
+
+4. **Subscription creation fails**
+   - Verify payment plan IDs exist in Helcim
+   - Check that card token was successfully captured
+
+### Database Verification
+
+Check MongoDB for created records:
+```javascript
+// In MongoDB shell or client
+db.members.findOne({ email: "test@example.com" })
+```
+
+Should see:
+- `helcimCustomerId` populated
+- `helcimSubscriptionId` for paid tiers
+- `status: "active"` after successful payment
+- `paymentMethod: "card"` for paid tiers
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Once testing is successful:
+1. Switch to production Helcim token
+2. Create production payment plans in Helcim
+3. Update plan IDs in `/app/config/contributions.js` if needed
+4. Test with real payment card (small amount)
+5. Set up webhook endpoints for subscription events (renewals, failures, cancellations)

+# Helcim Integration - Issues Fixed
+
+## Problem
+The API was returning 401 Unauthorized when trying to create customers.
+
+## Root Cause
+The runtime config wasn't properly accessing the Helcim token in server-side endpoints.
+
+## Solution Applied
+
+### 1. Fixed Runtime Config Access
+Updated all server endpoints to:
+- Pass the `event` parameter to `useRuntimeConfig(event)`
+- Fallback to `process.env.NUXT_PUBLIC_HELCIM_TOKEN` if config doesn't load
+
+### 2. Files Updated
+- `/server/api/helcim/customer.post.js`
+- `/server/api/helcim/subscription.post.js`
+- `/server/api/helcim/verify-payment.post.js`
+- `/server/api/helcim/test-connection.get.js`
+
+### 3. Fixed Import Path
+Created `/server/config/contributions.js` to re-export the contributions config for server-side imports.
+
+### 4. Verified Token Works
+Created `test-helcim-direct.js` which successfully:
+- Connected to Helcim API
+- Created a test customer (ID: 32854583, Code: CST1000)
+
+## Testing Instructions
+
+1. Restart your development server:
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+
+2. Test the connection:
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:3000/api/helcim/test-connection
+   ```
+
+3. Try the signup flow at `/join`
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- The token in your `.env` file is working correctly
+- The Helcim API is accessible and responding
+- Customer creation is functional when called directly
+- The issue was specifically with how Nuxt's runtime config was being accessed in server endpoints
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Once you confirm the signup flow works:
+1. Test with different contribution tiers
+2. Verify payment capture with test cards
+3. Check that subscriptions are created correctly
+4. Consider adding webhook endpoints for subscription events
