Important

• Email Service: The email.service.js is currently set to MOCK mode. It logs email tokens to the console instead of sending actual emails. This is perfect for testing without SMTP credentials.
• Stripe: The payment controller includes a mock mode if the Stripe key is missing or set to a dummy value.
