Onboarding Checklist

Before you can switch to live mode, complete these steps:

Required

  • Stripe account connected - Connect your Stripe account in Settings > Payments
  • Stripe account verified - Complete Stripe’s identity verification
  • At least one plan created - Create your pricing plans in the Plans section
  • Branding configured - Upload your logo and set colors in Settings > Pages
  • Integration tested - Verify your setup works in sandbox mode
You can check your onboarding progress in the console. Incomplete steps are highlighted.

Switch to Live Mode

Once onboarding is complete:
  1. Open the SolvaPay console
  2. Find the Sandbox/Live toggle in the header
  3. Click to switch to Live mode
  4. Confirm the switch
That’s it. Your integration is now processing real payments.

Your proxy URLs and API endpoints remain the same. The mode switch happens at the account level.

Switching Back to Sandbox

You can switch back to sandbox mode at any time to:
  • Test new features or plans
  • Debug issues without affecting production
  • Train team members
Your sandbox and live data are kept separate. Switching modes doesn’t affect existing customers or purchases in either environment.

After Going Live

Monitor Your First Transactions

  • Check the Dashboard for real-time usage and revenue
  • Verify webhook events are being received
  • Monitor Stripe for successful payments

Set Up Alerts (Optional)

Consider setting up alerts for:
  • Failed payments
  • Unusual usage patterns
  • Quota limit approaches
