Production checklist

Use this list before processing real customer funds.


Access & config

  • [ ] Merchant documents approved
  • [ ] Live access approved by VenPays
  • [ ] Live connectors configured (Mastercard / Benefit / Apple Pay as required)
  • [ ] Live API keys created and stored securely
  • [ ] Live webhook URL verified and secret stored

Integration

  • [ ] Base URL is https://merchant.venpays.com
  • [ ] Initiate + status + refund tested on Live with small amounts
  • [ ] Webhook signature verification deployed
  • [ ] Idempotent webhook handlers
  • [ ] Order fulfillment ignores client-only success UI
  • [ ] Failure and cancel paths tested

Operations

  • [ ] Team roles reviewed (who can refund / manage keys)
