Honesty caveats

Parts Exchange is a local pilot — seller count reflects pilot participants, not a national open marketplace.
Stripe Connect AU is Partial — payment flows are tested in sandbox, not production.
ABR verification is a specimen in the demo environment; live ABR lookup requires a paid provider key.
AusPost freight integration is Stub — will-call collection is the current delivery model in pilot.
