Going live

When your integration works in test mode, switch to live keys. Check these first.

Before you switch

  • The business taking payments has finished identity verification. Inkress requires it before any live payment, payment links included.
  • Your server checks every webhook's signature and acts on orders.paid, not on the customer's return to your site.
  • Your reference_ids are unique, so you can match every order and webhook to your own records.
  • Your code handles a declined payment and an order that stays pending.

Switch

  • Use your sk_live_ key and the live base URL, https://api.inkress.com/api/v1. With the Node SDK, use mode: "live".
  • Add your live webhook endpoints. Test and live endpoints and secrets are separate.
  • Keep live keys in your server's secret store, never in code or a browser.
Partners agree pricing and limits with Inkress before going live. Ask your Inkress contact.
