Go-Live Readiness

Moving from sandbox to live mode should be treated as an operational readiness milestone, not only a configuration toggle.

Before going live, merchants should validate:

  • onboarding and activation progress
  • enterprise and legal profile completeness
  • payout settings and payout destinations
  • payment settings and supported methods
  • webhook configuration for event-driven workflows
  • notification and alert posture
  • sandbox validation scenarios and reconciliation checks

Relevant surfaces

Current merchant surfaces related to readiness include:

  • activation hub
  • onboarding state updates
  • enterprise settings
  • payment settings
  • payout settings
  • alerts and notifications

Environment guidance

Use sandbox and merchant test mode to validate:

  • payment success flows
  • payment failure and timeout flows
  • webhook delivery and retry handling
  • payout flows
  • internal support and reconciliation procedures
