Testing Bits in Extensions

Just to confirm, does this mean that once again a test channel, that’s not an affiliate/partner, running an in-testing version of an extension will be able to use all the appropriate functions related to bits-in-extensions, such as getProducts as well as useBits?

It was somewhat of a concern that a couple months ago the decision was to remove the ability of non-partner/affiliate test accounts from being able to use getProducts, which hampered the development of bits-in-extension features as the partners we work with aren’t always available to help test, nor is it really appropriate to test such features in what I consider a production environment. So its great to see that more work has been done on making these part of the development process easier.

Also, will setUseLoopBack still be unchanged in that if that is set to true then the the process is just simulated and that usage will succeed with bits not being consumed regardless of type of channel/extension status?
