Go to production
Once the configuration and the testing process is complete, your integration will be ready to go live.
See below the necessary requirements to make this change effectively and safely, ensuring that the integration is prepared to receive real transactions.
Return to the store's production environment
After completing the necessary tests of your integration, remember to replace the credentials used for testing with your real user production credentials (already used in the development stage) to return to the store's production environment and start receiving real payments.
Implement SSL certificate
To ensure secure integration that protects the data of each transaction, it is necessary to implement an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate. This certificate, along with the use of the HTTPS protocol when providing payment methods, guarantees an encrypted connection between the client and the server.
Adopting these measures not only enhances the security of user data but also ensures compliance with the regulations and laws specific to each country related to data protection and information security. Furthermore, it significantly contributes to providing a safer and more reliable shopping experience.
Although the requirement for the SSL certificate does not apply during the testing period, its implementation is mandatory to go into production.
