# Go Live

Congratulations on completing your integration! Before launching to production, follow this checklist to ensure a smooth and secure deployment.

## Pre-Launch Checklist

### Security Review

* [ ] **Credentials Management**: Confirm API credentials are stored in environment variables
* [ ] **HTTPS Only**: Ensure all API calls use HTTPS
* [ ] **Token Security**: Implement secure token storage and automatic refresh
* [ ] **Webhook Validation**: Verify webhook signature validation is implemented
* [ ] **Error Logging**: Ensure sensitive data (tokens, passwords) is not logged

### Error Handling

* [ ] **Network Failures**: Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
* [ ] **Graceful Degradation**: Handle API downtime gracefully
* [ ] **User Feedback**: Provide clear error messages to users
* [ ] **Monitoring**: Set up alerts for critical errors

### Webhook Setup

* [ ] **Endpoint Configured**: Production webhook URL is registered
* [ ] **Idempotency**: Handle duplicate webhook deliveries
* [ ] **Async Processing**: Process webhooks asynchronously to avoid timeouts
* [ ] **Retry Handling**: Implement retry logic for failed webhook processing

### Compliance

* [ ] **Data Privacy**: Ensure GDPR/NDPR compliance for user data
* [ ] **Terms & Conditions**: Display payment terms to users
* [ ] **Record Keeping**: Implement transaction audit logging

## Production Credentials

To obtain production API credentials:

1. **Complete Integration Testing**: Ensure all test scenarios pass
2. **Submit Go-Live Request**: Email [hello@fincode.co.uk](mailto:hello@fincode.co.uk) with:
   * Company name and registration details
   * Integration completion confirmation
   * Expected transaction volume
3. **Receive Production Access**: You'll receive:
   * Production API credentials
   * Production base URL: `https://${domain}.fincode.tech`
   * Production webhook configuration

## Monitoring & Logging

### Recommended Metrics

Track these key metrics to monitor your integration health:

* **Transaction Success Rate**: Percentage of successful transactions
* **API Response Times**: Monitor for degradation
* **Error Rates**: Track 4xx and 5xx errors
* **Webhook Delivery**: Monitor webhook receipt and processing times

### Logging Best Practices

* Log all API requests and responses (excluding sensitive data)
* Include correlation IDs for tracing
* Set up alerts for:
  * High error rates (>5%)
  * Slow response times (>3 seconds)
  * Failed webhook deliveries

## Support

### Production Support

For production issues, contact our support team:

* **Email**: [hello@fincode.co.uk](mailto:hello@fincode.co.uk)

### What to Include in Support Requests

* Transaction ID or Customer Code
* Timestamp of the issue
