The documentaiton for the Creator Economy seems spread all over the place, making is confusing to know what you can test where and when.

World Stores and Group Stores are different things, the former for items within the world and the later for subscriptions.

Here is the documentation for "Testing Udon Products":

The second and third point is a cause for a lot of confusion:

2) "When testing locally, purchased listings automatically expire after 60 seconds, no matter how many months you choose when purchasing it."

That leads me to believe I can Test & Build a world, and open up the World Store. I however cannot. I only known this because this page:

says at point 4 that World Stores cannot be tested in Test & Build.

This would be useful to have on the documentation for "Testing Udon Products", as it is relevent. This lead me to believe that "locally" then meant uploading privately and testing there, which the listing from a World Store Page does not, in fact disappear after 60 seconds. I need to use the "Store.OpenListing" function for that, which isn't listed in point 2 I am talking about.

It does not state that you need to use Store.OpenListing to achieve this, as Store.OpenWorldStorePage cannot be used locally.

3) "You can purchase published listings/subscriptions without publishing them in your store. This allows you to make test purchases without allowing users to see or buy your listings/subscriptions."

This has lead me to believe that I can test out my Group Store locally and privately without publishing my listings. However, on making my product for my Group Store, the store in question would not open up when I use the Open Goup Page prefab with OpenToStorePage toggled on.

I tried this with the group store unpublished and the produt published. I tried the reverse. Only when both were published could I actually see my Group Storem Page.

Apparently, I am meant to use "Store.OpenListing" to test my group store page, as that appears to be the function that is used for testing unpublished listings. However, the vaugeness of the writing in point 3 makes me think that there is no difference between the functions used. Clarification here would be helpful.

Finally, the top of "Testing Udon Products" has this:

"Some features of the Creator Economy cannot be tested locally and require a private world upload instead.". What can and can't be used? It would be very helpful to know what functions do and do not work locally. It would be very useful to know Group Store Pages don't show up locally (just as it states somewhere in a prefab page that World Store Pages don't work locally).

All this has lead to a very confusng and frustrating experience in trying to set up the Creator Economy, and I think a more detailed list of what can and cannot be used locally would save a lot of headache for people with large projects.
