## FAQs

<Icon icon="help-circle" size={18} color="#4B5563" />

**Does Antei access Stripe payment methods?**\
No. Antei does not access card tokens or payment methods. Only metadata required for tax logic is fetched.

**Can I disable write actions like checkout creation?**\
Yes. You can manage action permissions from the Antei dashboard under integration settings.

**What happens if I disconnect?**\
All tokens are revoked. Data sync stops immediately, and you'll be prompted to reauthorize.

Yes. Stripe test mode is supported. You can connect both test and live environments as separate entities.
