Hey @elitenel,
To transition from testing in the Visa Developer sandbox to running a real project in production, Visa has a specific process you need to follow. Here are the steps:
1. Complete Testing in the Sandbox Environment:
- Ensure that your application has been thoroughly tested in the sandbox environment. The sandbox environment is designed to simulate real-world scenarios and allows you to validate your integration using test data.
2. Request Production Access:
- Once you have successfully tested your application in the sandbox, you can request access to the production environment. This is done through the Visa Developer Portal.
- Navigate to your project on the Visa Developer Portal and look for an option to request production access. You may need to provide additional information about your project and your business.
3. Undergo Review and Approval:
- Your request for production access will be reviewed by Visa. This review process may include an evaluation of your business model, security measures, and compliance with Visa’s standards.
- Visa may also require you to complete additional steps or provide more information during this review process.
4. Set Up Production Credentials:
- Once your request for production access is approved, you will receive production credentials. These credentials are different from your sandbox credentials and will be used to authenticate your application in the production environment.
- You will also need to set up your application to use the production endpoints provided by Visa.
5. Move to Production:
- After setting up your production credentials and configuring your application, you can start using Visa’s APIs in the production environment to process real transactions.
Here is a summary of the steps to request production access:
1. Complete testing in the sandbox environment.
2. Request production access via the Visa Developer Portal.
3. Undergo review and approval by Visa.
4. Set up production credentials.
5. Move to production.
For detailed instructions and guidance, refer to the Going Live Guide on the Visa Developer Portal. This guide provides comprehensive information on the process of transitioning from sandbox to production, including best practices and requirements.
Thanks,
Diana
