## How it works

A production-ready integration has working connectors, predictable prices and reliable order reconciliation. Validate every payment path that customers will actually use.

## Implementation

Check live credentials and connector health; review routing, methods, regions and adjustments. Confirm that production creates live payments and that secrets stay server-side. Make retries safe and persist payment IDs alongside orders. Verify signed events, deduplicate deliveries and isolate test fulfilment. With the merchant owner's approval, complete a small live payment and refund through each enabled processor. Confirm both webhook deliveries before accepting customer traffic.
