DEV3 Shipdrop is installed. How do I load the demo content (if there is any) and what should I configure first?

Going live

Run without DEMO_MODE, and remove the demo accounts (or install empty).
Set a real APP_SECRET and keep it, because it encrypts merchants' gateway keys.
Never run npm run demo:reset on a live database.
