Everything you build on staging runs end to end with simulated payouts. When you are ready to move funds to users’ banks, switch to production.

Go-live checklist

1

Get production access

Production access requires a signed Order Form and completed KYB verification, and your project enabled for KYC data sharing. Contact sales to get set up, and see account verification for what KYB involves.
2

Verify your users

Verify each user in production. If you import KYC data, confirm it meets the data requirements for each region you serve.
3

Handle order status

Wire up order tracking by polling or webhooks so your app reflects payout progress and surfaces failures.
4

Switch hosts and keys

Point your requests at the production hosts and swap in your production API key. Send mainnet USDC on a supported chain.
